About the role

At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious in reforming the council to ensure this is a place for everybody. Within the Environment Department, we offer a wide range of services to help make the borough an attractive place, one that is safe, clean and green and one in which our residents take pride. Our residents are clear. They want a borough that is clean and tidy, where they can feel safe, day and night, and where they can see the council protecting the law abiding and enforcing against those who are not. The Community Safety Unit has benefited from significant investment to meet the needs of our residents and elected members.

As Law Enforcement Officer you will be at the forefront of our work to address environmental crime in the borough. Working in a dedicated team you will get to know the borough, its residents, businesses, parks and open spaces, housing estates and more. Our Law Enforcement Officers are our eyes and ears, and ambassadors for the council as we seek to drive down environmental crime and ASB. You will be working to a Senior Law Enforcement Officer and you will be responsible for ensuring compliance across a broad range of legislation within your given area(s) of responsibility.

You will also take pride and be accountable in ensuring that your service requests, members enquiries, management taskings etc are responded to in time, on time and at the highest level. You will also be responsible for ensuring that all your case work progresses in line with legal frameworks and timescales progressing cases to court where needed.

As a front-line officer, you should expect to be out on the ground undertaking foot patrols, both alone and with your colleagues, at least 80% of the time. This role requires experience in customer service and/or front-line service delivery, and we expect that all of our staff work to the highest standards of customer care and have an appetite to learn, evolve and develop both personally and professionally. In addition to ensuring that the day-to-day service needs are being met, you will also be exposed to a significant amount of joint working across other council services and with a range of partner organisations so experience and strength in collaborative working and/or partnership work is also desirable.

When you join us, you will receive a thorough training package where we will train you to become accredited under the Community Safety Accreditation Scheme (CSAS) and provide you with a broad portfolio of enforcement tools via relevant accreditation. You will also need to apply and clear NPPV2 vetting to get the CSAS accreditation.

As a front-line Law Enforcement Officer, you will work across a seven day a week, providing on street presence at the times, and in the locations, of most need. It’s a complex and challenging problem that requires teamwork, self-organisation, critical thinking and strong communication skills. If you could rise to that challenge, we’d like to talk to you.

Our mission is to be the best council. To do this we need the best people to help build our vision. If you’re looking to develop your career in a fast-paced, professional environment whilst making a difference, then we look forward to hearing from you.

Please note that submittal of CVs and/or letter of interest, without an accompanying personal statement which evidences your experience against the job description, will not be accepted.

We particularly welcome and encourage female applicants as this group is currently underrepresented in our service.

Please refer to the Role Profile for more information.

WCC – AMAYA’S EXTRAORDINARY STORY

Legal Services at Westminster is made up of a dedicated and diverse team of legal professionals committed to improving outcomes for families in the local community. Amaya, a Senior Solicitor, is part of the team that focuses on child protection, adult social care and education. After starting in private practice, she transitioned to public law, working other local authorities for over 20 years, before joining the bi-borough Legal Services seven years ago. Her caseload is very wide-ranging, challenging and stimulating and she has dealt with cases that have involved Hague proceedings, as well as a case before the Supreme Court. As part of a close-knit and supportive team, Amaya and her colleagues have worked hard for years, and they have built a very good reputation with the local Court (Central Family Court) and the judges. The team is keen to develop the next generation of social care lawyers to continue this important work.

Westminster staff are encouraged to participate and contribute to more than just their day-to-day role and volunteering opportunities are available. Amaya has contributed to training for Children’s Services and has collaborated with the Family Rights Group. She also actively supports wider council initiatives, including volunteering with the Climate Team, the Language Café, and mentoring care-experienced young people through summer placement schemes.

The Role:

As a Senior Solicitor in our Social Care and Education Team, you can make your own powerful contribution to children and families across Westminster. Specialising in Child Care, you’ll work across the entire Council ecosystem to provide expert professional, procedural and technical guidance on all matters relating to child protection.

Your day-to-day will include both complex and routine legal cases - covering everything from care proceedings to PLO cases, age assessments to DoLs. You may be required to work on high profile, politically sensitive or financially weighted cases.

Acting as an advocate as appropriate, you’ll conduct proceedings, public enquiries, appeals and judicial reviews in the Courts and before Tribunals. Responsible for drafting, preparing and collating legal documents, advising on law and evidence, and interviewing witnesses, you’ll ensure that all procedural requirements are complied with.

Acting as a source of expertise and guidance to your team and senior colleagues, you’ll work to foster a culture of accountability, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the Council and beyond.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

A qualified Solicitor, Barrister or Fellow of CILEX (or equivalent), you’ll have demonstrable experience of dealing with, and advising on, local authority’s duties and powers in relation to children and young adults. Bringing solid knowledge of childcare, Local Government and adult social care law, you’ll be confident advising on complaints and judicial review matters.

On a personal level, you’ll be a true team player with excellent negotiating and influencing skills. A strong public speaker, you’ll be capable of effectively communicating standard and complex legal issues to non-specialist colleagues. Your approach to work will be diplomatic, enterprising, and detail focused, and you’ll be passionate about improving outcomes for children, young people and their families.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive team of specialists putting people across Westminster first, and to supercharge your career in the process.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF ARUNA’S DEDICATION TO TRANSFORMING LIVES

The Bi-Borough Legal Services Department at Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people like Aruna work on projects that are helping to regenerate our borough and transform residents’ lives.

The Church Street Estate is an exciting, vibrant area and home to a diverse range of people, but has a number of issues that have led to social and economic exclusion for many. So a few years ago we decided to create a masterplan with the aim of improving the lives of everyone who lives and works here, while building on the unique qualities of the neighbourhood.

Our ambition is to improve the quality of life for everyone in the area, and we aim to do this by building 1,750 high quality homes, creating new green spaces and playgrounds, and providing services that will support the community’s health and wellbeing.

But such massive changes bring worry and conflict. Flats and houses will have to be demolished to make way for the new, and as many people have lived in their homes for decades they don’t want to say goodbye to cherished memories and familiar surroundings. Which is where Aruna and her team came into their own.

In the summer of 2024 a public inquiry was held into the compulsory purchase order made for Site A of Church Street, and it was her role to support the development team as they put forward the case for regeneration. Many of the people who objected were understandably afraid at the prospect of losing their homes, but Aruna was passionate in her defence of the project and stressed the fact that everyone in the area deserves better. And she was reassuring too, as she explained that compulsory powers would only be used as a last resort and anyone who is moved out of their current home has a range of options to remain in the area should they wish to, and the regenerated Church Street will offer unique opportunities, new jobs and an exciting feeling of optimism.

Aruna’s commitment to a positive world of renewal for our residents is Westminster City Council’s commitment too, and the Church Street of the future will hopefully be a blueprint for progressive regeneration throughout our city.

Joining this diverse and highly respected in-house legal practice gives you the opportunity to benefit from the combined expertise of two leading councils. Working under the supervision of more experienced lawyers, you’ll enjoy a diverse and challenging workload that will include responsibility for your own cases. We’ll build on what you learned during your traineeship to help you develop your experience and make rapid progress.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE POWER OF CREATIVE THERAPY

Adult Social Care in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where our passionate, caring and committed professionals do brilliant work every day.

Mr J’s mental health had declined in which he was admitted to hospital. While he was being looked after we grew concerned about his personal care and lack of routine, and quickly realised that he needed social care support, to support his independence and help prepare him for a successful return to the community he loved.

He was assigned to Ms T, one of our experienced Mental Health Social Workers, who took a strengths-based, person-centred approach to his recovery. From their very first meetings, she built a strong rapport with Mr J and discovered he had a real passion for painting. She encouraged his creativity by providing art supplies and linking him with art therapy, helping him use his imagination and love of colour to manage his emotions and rediscover a genuine sense of purpose and fulfilment.

Working together, Ms T and Mr J developed a personalised plan for his discharge. This included re-establishing daily routines, building support networks, and engaging with a range of creative outlets. And so he could receive support and encouragement when he was back home, she also helped to connect him with a number of local art and mental health groups.

By the time he left hospital, Mr J felt much more positive, confident and hopeful about the future. His journey illustrates how our amazing Social Workers transform lives for the better, and focusing on a person’s creativity, strengths and connection to their community can make a world of difference to their mental health.

The Role:

As Substance Use Specialist Care Manager you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Managing a challenging caseload, you’ll support service users with mental illness and substance use comorbidity, and help to improve their lives by offering assessments, care planning, harm minimisation advice and group work. Delivering individual psychosocial sessions to vulnerable people who often have a history of difficult engagement with services, you’ll also operate as a ‘link worker’ between statutory mental health services and the local authority’s Dual Diagnosis Team, and focus on ensuring that information is shared between services.

Working proactively with voluntary sector substance use services, attending meetings and providing guidance, advice and knowledge relating to mental illness, you’ll offer harm minimisation advice to service users, promote their general health and well-being, and maintain positive therapeutic relationships with them. When it’s appropriate, we’ll also expect you to identify and refer service users to substance use day and/or residential rehab programmes, regularly review the placements you make, and help them achieve abstinence.

You’ll have a wide range of additional tasks – these include co-facilitating groups that help service users learn from each other’s experiences, providing training to fellow professionals regarding Dual Diagnosis, and keeping comprehensive and up-to-date records of your interventions. Committed to identifying the cultural, spiritual and communication needs of users within our diverse communities, you should also be ready to participate in a multi-disciplinary response to crisis situations, and undertake continuous risk assessment and management. It goes without saying that you’ll be familiar with the provisions of The Care Act, Mental Health Act and Mental Capacity Act, and we’ll also expect you to act as a Lead Enquiry Officer in Care Act assessments and safeguarding enquires.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To be a success in this vital role you should have well developed experience of working in an inpatient or community setting with service users who have severe and enduring mental health and/or substance abuse issues, the ability to respond to challenging mental health crises, and be capable of undertaking assessments to determine service eligibility against statutory criteria. It’s important that you have experience of delivering one-to-one psychosocial interventions and facilitating group sessions, using techniques such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to facilitate positive change, and you should also be ready to work alongside residential rehabilitation services.

Your warm and empathetic communication skills will see you building positive therapeutic relationships with service users, and you’ll be capable of assessing, designing, delivering and evaluating health and social care packages that help to put them on the road to fulfilling new lives. Able to work collaboratively with a wide range of individuals and agencies, including families, carers, the Police and Ambulance services, and other statutory and non-statutory bodies, you should also possess good record keeping and IT skills, with a particular focus on Microsoft’s suite of software.

It’s essential that you have a strong commitment to implementing Equal Opportunities for care delivery and staff in a multi-cultural community, and it’s also important that you’re up to speed with the latest developments in nursing and social care, including concepts of recovery and the personalisation agenda. With a clear understanding of the practical implications of the Data Protection Act, we’ll also expect you to be qualified in one of the following ways: a Social Work degree and registration with Social Work England, a Nursing degree or qualification and registration with NMC, an Occupational Therapist qualification and current registration with a governing body, or a Clinical Psychologist qualification and current registration with a governing body.

Service Designer WCC623255 (Westminster, LND, GB)

Job Details:

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF 809 CONNECTED BUSINESSES

Digital and Innovation in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where creative and enterprising people put local residents and businesses first.

Today, Westminster is the most connected borough in London. But, when David joined us in the mid-2010s, small businesses were still struggling to get connected to fibre. Without gigabit-capable broadband, some companies even resorted to biking memory sticks around the city, simply to share files with clients.

Although still in a junior role, David took the initiative and successfully made the business case for £2.8 million of European funding to support connectivity for small businesses across Westminster. Feedback from businesses has been overwhelmingly positive as the project has enhanced their communications with clients. The new connectivity allows them to make video calls and work remotely. As the pandemic hit and many more people needed to work from home, it became clear just how vital this investment had been.

Fast-forward a few years. Westminster is leading the way for connectivity, as a result of the project businesses are thriving, and David is heading up a service of his own responsible for delivery of the Smart City strategy.

The Role:

As a Service Designer working across our Digital and Innovation portfolio you’ll make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Supporting core IT and technology activities, and with a strong focus on our Smart City ambitions to build a city that supports and celebrates all of its communities, you’ll take a proactive and relentless approach to delivery and positive change. You could be asked to work in a number of different ways, from being part of a team working to iterate a product to continuously improve and meet the needs of our users, or joining a Project team using Agile methodologies to deliver agreed outcomes, to acting as the member of a service team delivering against a set of requirements. Whatever you do, you’ll specify and design end-to-end services for our most complex and interdependent services, help to define user needs and business objectives, and identify and mitigate design challenges.

Working with senior leaders to identify service opportunities and business solutions, including improvements to information systems, data management, practices, organisation and equipment, you’ll be working with our service areas to map their business flows, inspire their ambitions, help them streamline process and understand their interconnection with the rest of our organisation. We’ll also expect you to prototype services and interactions, and make an important contribution to the iterative design and development process as you provide high quality expertise relating to the optimisation of accessibility and usability.

Committed to ensuring that the views of end-users and any other party involved in your work is fully considered, and that appropriate prioritisation is applied to meet business objectives, you’ll take part in detailed research, using data and narratives to better design and iterate services. Building service patterns which encompass not just digital service delivery but all channels and methods of access, and making a major contribution to the development of the service design community, we’ll also expect you to champion service design as key to transformation, and help our service areas identify opportunities and build ambitious plans for the future.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To be a success in this role you should have proven experience of end-to-end service design, a good understanding of product development, and the ability to explain your ideas clearly while influencing a diverse range of stakeholders. A superb communicator with confident persuading skills, the decisions you make should be driven by data and evidence, and underpinned by well developed knowledge of modern technology, including cloud technology, architecture, agile delivery methods and software practices. We’ll also expect you to possess a good understanding of user research principles and benefits, knowledge of the cross-government DDAT framework, and a practical understanding of systems thinking and the history of service design.

With experience of working in multidisciplinary teams to design and build services and improve existing delivery, and of delivering prototype interactions that unlock a team’s creative thinking, you’ll be capable of facilitating cross-organisational work and building positive relationships with everyone you interact with. Ready to guide design decisions in complex service areas, lead process change, plot a path forward and reveal opportunities, you’ll have the skills to understand technical complexity and risks, run collaborative design activities and deliver a transformation vision. You’ll also possess the skills to manage risk and create prototypes on paper, in static code or in conversation.

Skilled at building clear visualisations of service and user journeys to help teams plan and prioritise their work, your relentless focus on the end-user will allow you to contribute to research and the translation of feedback into design decisions. Passionate about taking a full and active role in the cross-government digital and design community, and able to apply digital ways of thinking to non-digital problems, any previous experience in a service design project within a highly regulated environment would be a bonus.

What We Offer:

Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to more than 200,000 residents from all backgrounds, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people work in Westminster.

On-Call Firefighter (Odiham) HIWFRS619684 (Odiham, HAM, GB)

Job Details:

Salary Range: £2,278 - £5,832 per annum, plus additional incident call out payments

Work Location: Odiham Fire Station

Hours per week: Minimum of 31 on-call hours per week

Contract Type: Permanent

The Role:

An on-call firefighter is a paid person employed by the fire and rescue service who is ‘on call’ to respond to a range of emergencies and to engage with their community. They have everyday lives and jobs, until their pager sounds - then they become professional firefighters.

The work may be called ‘part-time’, but on-call firefighters are trained and experienced people on the front line, saving lives and protecting people and community assets. On-call firefighters are paid for their services, they receive thorough training and learn all they need to know about emergency situations as well as additional personal skills.

On-call firefighters come from all areas of the community. For example, they could be men and women who are at home, in full or part-time employment, working for themselves, studying at college or university, or not currently employed. They are exceptional people who give their time to assist the fire and rescue service and help protect their communities.

There is no doubt it is a demanding role, but in return offers the chance to make a real contribution. You will form close working relationships with the other members of the team, essential when dealing with an emergency, and further enhanced by other aspects of the role such as attending community events.

On-call firefighters do not just fight fires, they are involved in a wide variety of situations ranging from community fire safety, flooding, co-responding, road accidents and chemical spills to retrieving animals from awkward situations.

Previous Experience
You don’t need previous experience as we provide a comprehensive training programme. What is important is that you are enthusiastic and can meet certain essential requirements. Crucially, you must be able to reach the fire station quickly and safely after being alerted to an incident. This can be physically demanding and therefore physical fitness is of utmost importance.

Please note: To be eligible to apply you must work and/or live within 4 minutes to the Fire Station, if you do not meet this criteria your application will be automatically rejected.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF MR K’s RECOVERY

Adult Social Care in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where our passionate, caring and committed professionals do brilliant work every day.

A globe-trotting tourist called Mr K had a stroke. Hospitalised and very vulnerable, we put a unique plan together for him. He wanted to travel to Germany, but he wasn’t well enough. We placed Mr K in a care home to recover. Initially he didn’t like it, but our social worker worked hard to encourage him to stay. And he enjoyed the experience so much, he stayed for a year. As he was recovering, Mr K’s social worker got him an iPad and a phone to help him manage his finances and arrange his next trip. This enabled him to book his tickets to Germany. ‘Auf wiedersehen’ and he was gone!

The Role:

As a Social Worker in our Statutory Team Enabling Pathways (STEP), you can make your own powerful contribution in the lives of some of the most vulnerable adults in Westminster. You’ll join a clinical team of nurses and mental health professionals. Your role is to carry out statutory social work duties for a small cohort of difficult-to-engage people who sleep rough locally. They have very complex needs – but between you and your colleagues, the STEP team has all the skills necessary to make a difference.

Together, you’ll support people with a range of mental health conditions and other co-morbidities. Working in a culture of compassion, integrity and openness, where every team member has the opportunity to thrive and grow, you’ll be part of a vital service focused on engagement and harm reduction. Taking a trauma-informed approach, you’ll help to link service users into the support services they need.

Your responsibilities will include undertaking care assessments, case management, safeguarding adults and initial preventative work. We’ll also expect you to carry out the statutory duties of an Approved Mental Health Professional. Across a small caseload, you’ll provide holistic care to address health inequalities and support long-term recovery. The vulnerable people you support will often have substance abuse challenges and may benefit from services such as motivational interviewing and relapse prevention. Visiting them from streets to day centres, hostels and shelters, you’ll be part of the change they need and deserve.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

A qualified, registered social worker and Approved Mental Health professional, you are a great communicator and team player, with a flair for building relationships. Westminster is a diverse place, so it will be an advantage to have experience of working with adults who have mental health problems from a range of different ethnic and cultural groups. You have helped to make a difference in the lives of people with severe and enduring mental health problems and their careers. Please note that some early morning or late evening work may be necessary to engage with some service users.

What We Offer:

At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best, that is the Westminster Way.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF GRACE’S PASSION AND DEDICATION

The Environment & Communities Directorate in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated people like Grace are using their skills and passion to progress environmental action in the heart of London.

It was at university where Grace first started campaigning for improved recycling facilities, water refill stations, and other eco-friendly initiatives. When she saw the real difference people could make when they came together, she knew she wanted to dedicate her career to community action for the planet.

When she joined us as Principal Engagement Officer, Climate Emergency, she quickly established herself as a passionate advocate for community outreach, engaging various stakeholders across Westminster in the social causes, impacts and solutions to climate change, air pollution, and biodiversity loss.

Grace became a driving force behind our first Citizens’ Climate Assembly, which took place across two weekends in the summer of 2023. Fifty residents were chosen at random from across our diverse communities to come together, learn about the climate emergency, and deliberate how we overcome the barriers to becoming a net zero city by 2040. The assembly produced several recommendations which have informed the evolution of our Climate Emergency Action Plan. Due to the success of this initiative, we’re holding more assemblies to continue community involvement in local decision-making.

To see the work of the Westminster Citizens’ Climate Assembly, click here.

The Role:

As a Highways Licensing Inspector, you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Working within Highways Services, you will help maintain and enhance the reputation of the City Council as custodian of the Public Realm, ensuring the city’s streets remain safe for everyone who uses them.

You will deliver a specialist service, carrying out a range of skilled activities that support the effective management of the highway network. This will include inspecting highways and third-party works, monitoring environmental and traffic management arrangements linked to major construction projects, and overseeing the performance of the Council’s highways contractors to ensure work is carried out to the required standards.

Leading by example, you’ll model and embed the Council’s values and behaviours at every avenue, while also collaborating with colleagues, partners and other stakeholders. You’ll play an important part in helping to build a sustainable, highly effective organisation while also building our reputation as a successful council that always puts its residents first.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

You’ve worked in Highway maintenance before, where you’ve conducted inspections and overseen the licensing of temporary structures. You have a solid understanding of how traffic management works on-street and have supported large-scale developments while minimising disruption to the public highway in the past.

Confident working in a service delivery role, you can build strong relationships with stakeholders and resolve issues quickly. Managing risk, spotting improvement opportunities and keeping things moving are all part of how you work day to day.

Your technical knowledge is second to none. You’re familiar with key highways legislation such as the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, the Highways Act 1980 and relevant sections of the Road Traffic Act, as well as Westminster’s Code of Construction Practice. You’re also able to assess works on-site, understand technical issues in highway structures and make informed decisions about remedial actions.

You communicate clearly and can produce concise reports, briefing notes and responses to enquiries, including Freedom of Information requests, to tight deadlines. Comfortable using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, you’re able to present information in a clear and structured way.

Building relationships comes naturally to you, and you’re able to work independently or as part of a team to resolve issues quickly. You’re also open to new approaches, committed to continuous improvement, and bring a strong sense of responsibility towards equality, diversity and creating an inclusive working environment.

What We Offer:

At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve.

Join us in this team, and we will provide you with full training. This is a 5 month fixed term contract, covering our busiest days in our busiest period.

Providing registrar services across more than 160 licensed venues including The Ritz Hotel, The Houses of Parliament and London Zoo, this is a unique opportunity to work in some of London’s most iconic destinations. Better yet, your natural ‘home’ will be the country’s most well-known town hall venue (The Old Marylebone Town Hall) – a place that has hosted more than 12,000 ceremonies. In fact, this iconic venue celebrated 100-years of hosting ceremonies in 2024, so to celebrate this epic milestone, our team of Registrars conducted 100 services in one day, which were livestreamed by the BBC! It’s events like these that remind our team of the wonderful value that they’re contributing to other people’s lives.

Working a minimum of 4 shifts a month on a casual contract (paid hourly with enhancements for weekends and Bank Holidays), you will register marriages and civil partnerships at the weekend and on occasional Fridays. Without ever losing sight of the fact that these are important legal ceremonies, you will enjoy being part of the happiest occasions, seeing to it that every ceremony is as unique as the people involved. This will mean working with couples to help enhance the special occasions, ensuring their ideal ceremony content is permissible within the law.

There is of course a more challenging facet of our work, in which we must remain alert to any signs of sham, forced or predatory marriages. Raising concerns and working with the relevant safeguarding teams to protect the people involved, you will be a trusted ally to people from all walks of life. You will also confirm the identities of people involved in ceremonies and ensure the validity of venue licenses, so a sharp eye for detail will be essential.

Join us in this vital work, and we are confident that you will love the role. Many of our team conduct their duties alongside other careers, so if you are looking for an opportunity that may well feel more like a wonderful pastime than a job, we’d love to hear from you.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

We work in a very busy environment, so to make the most of this opportunity you will combine an enthusiastic approach with a sharp eye for detail and fantastic organisation skills. It goes without saying that amazing people skills will be essential to your success, and you will be keen to both serve the public and learn from experienced team-members.

Combining discretion with empathy, and with a focus on making people feel special, this is a role in which you will be encouraged to bring your whole self to work. You’ll need to remain calm under pressure, and your flexible approach will mean you’re able to keep up with communication ourside of standard working hours. From a practical point of view, you’ll also have good IT skills with the capacity to accurately and clearly enter information into legal documents.

Please note the position is for a fixed 5-month Casual Contract. Shortlisted candidates will need to be available for an assessment day on 4th May, and successful candidates will need to be available to attend training on 25, 26 and 27 June.

What We Offer:

We reserve the right to extend or close this vacancy early without warning subject to the volume of suitable applicants.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF EMPOWERED FAMILIES

Children’s Services at Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories where compassionate people bring everything to their work, including their own experiences of parenting.

Take Melissa, a Senior Social Worker in our Assessment Team. She’s one of the first people families meet when accessing our services, so building rapport is critical. And that’s where Melissa’s life experience really counts. She had her first child as a young adult and knows just how judgemental others can be.

Melissa has something unique to offer and it can’t be found in a textbook: her own experience of raising two children as a single parent. She’s committed to empowering others: giving them the skills, resources and confidence they need, from housing support to baby supplies. And if the family has older kids? Well, she’s been there too. Her youngest is now 15 and Melissa knows the challenges of helping young people navigate inner-city life.

Melissa first learnt her craft as a support worker, then completed her statutory training as social worker – all while raising her family single-handed. And she’s not done yet. Supported by her managers, she’s been training in systemic therapy and is already looking forward to her next development opportunity.

Melissa’s more than a social worker; she’s a shining example to the families she works with every day.

The Role:

As SEND Resolution Manager, you too can make a powerful contribution. We’ve just created this role, which will work closely alongside another newly created post, a SEND Solicitor. While we’re already a strong team, focused on delivering the best outcomes for children and young people with support needs, we aim for these newly created roles to bring a fresh approach to managing workloads and deciphering the best way forward.

The Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal (SENDIST) is part of His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS). It’s an independent legal body that hears appeals from parents, carers, or young people when they disagree with decisions made by a Local Authority about Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans or SEND provision. You’ll be the main point of contact for parents, carers or young people when they make or lodge a complaint. As SEND Resolution Manager, you’ll be leading the Council’s work for tribunals and formal disagreements. This will entail ensuring that all responses to SENDIST are sent in a timely fashion, including evidence for trial; preparing cases for tribunal; liaising with Legal Services, SEND services and multi-agency practitioners. You’ll defend the council’s decisions and the proposed service provision. Plus, you’ll make sure that witnesses are well-prepared for a potential appeal hearing.

Through solution-focused thinking, you’ll work to find a way a positive outcome for families and reduce tribunal numbers. This will include attending meetings and negotiating changes to EHC plans. You’ll discuss with your colleagues if there’s a way address concerns. To help your team further, you’ll lead on providing quantitative and qualitative reports, as well as briefings, to inform good working practice and service improvements. Also, you’ll inform schools and other agencies on best practice outcomes relating to mediation, disagreement resolution and appeals.

High levels of organisation will be key, as you’ll have a variety of cases to work on. The work will be fast paced, and you’ll need to balance expectations with meeting deadlines. It is rewarding work and an opportunity to ensure robust, compliant decisions are made for children and young people with special educational needs.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

We’re seeking someone that has worked as a Local Authority representative, in a legal arena, and at a senior level within SEND services. This has given you experience of establishing effective working relationships with parents, carers and representatives from the NHS and schools. Your excellent written and verbal communication skills means that you’re able to communicate with them all.

To excel here, you’ll need excellent understanding of and compliance with key legislation, including The Children and Families Act 2014, the SEND reforms, The Care Act 2014, The Mental Health Capacity Act 2005. You’ve kept your knowledge up to date and are able to demonstrate this. On a wider level, you’ve got a superb awareness of the current issues impacting children and young people, particularly in relation to education and safeguarding.

A strong leader, you can effectively manage direct reports and inspire good practice across the service. You can work independently and as part of a team. Plus, you can confidently apply the principles of equal opportunities into the work that you do.

You’re diligent at meeting deadlines, even under pressure and with competing demands. Excellent organisational and administrative skills help you to achieve this.

Both your decision-making and problem-solving skills are excellent. You navigate problems with flexibility and creative thinking. You have a degree or equivalent professional experience.

What We Offer:

We reserve the right to extend or close this vacancy early without warning subject to the volume of suitable applicants.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF MOHAMMED’S INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY

As the educational arm of Westminster City Council, Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories. From ESOL, English, Maths and Digital to Accounting, Community Learning, Childcare and Teaching and Languages to the Creative Arts and Culture, WAES’s courses offer unparalleled opportunities to grow, develop and acquire new skills. People like Mohammed work to inspire our residents to achieve their goals and enrich their lives through a huge range of stimulating and transformative learning experiences.

When he was 16 Mohammed came to London from a small town in the south of France and dived straight into the world of work. Once he’d found his feet and established himself, he decided he wanted to do some volunteering work and give something back to the community that had supported him on his first steps in the big city, so he approached WAES. They offered him a couple of hours a week for a few months, and he enjoyed it so much that when a temporary job in HR became available, he applied for it and was successful.

Fast forward a few years, and Mohammed is now working as a Funding and Compliance Manager, full time in the Management Information System department, and using his experience to encourage and inspire a new generation of Westminster citizens. As a member of the Kurdish community, he knows how difficult it can be to develop the skills, learnings and confidence to establish yourself in a new environment and is committed to sharing the story of his amazing journey, using it to illustrate how WAES can be a catalyst for positive growth and change.

Mohammed sees potential in everyone he meets, and is dedicated to encouraging people to grasp the opportunities they’re offered with both hands. And WAES is at the heart of Westminster’s commitment to helping everyone in our diverse communities to achieve their potential and transform their lives.

Providing timely and accurate course information for our self-assessment and development plans, you’ll also monitor enrolment, retention, attendance, punctuality and progression, and initiate any necessary interventions.

You’ll have a wide range of additional responsibilities - these include undertaking the diagnostic assessment of students, identifying individual needs and referring to support colleagues if required, and ensuring that all learners have appropriate individual study plans. We’ll also expect you to prepare course outlines, schemes of work and lesson plans, identify the materials and equipment you’ll need, teach tutorials, help to plan and schedule exams for Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) courses, and produce assessments of each learner’s work.

It goes without saying that you’ll be a superb written and verbal communicator, and when it comes to your own formal education you should have Maths and English GCSEs at Grade 4/C or above, and a recognised teaching qualification (PTLLS as a minimum). We’ll also expect you to hold the Level 4 Diploma for Accounting Technicians or NVQ/SVQ Level 4 in Accounting, or a Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies qualification.

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF GIRO’S PERSUASIVE POWERS

Our Adult Services & Public Health team in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. We love it when our work touches lives.

Take Stepping to the Beat, our 3k walk, jog or run for people with learning or physical disabilities or Autism, their families and carers. It’s a life-affirming, music-based event Coreen and Claudia are massively proud of – and they were keen for people to spread the word. So, imagine how thrilled they were when one of our residents, Giro, did just that. Advocating for people with disabilities at a planning meeting for transport in London, he was proudly wearing his event medal. And he decided to use it to encourage others. As he passed it around the room, Giro inspired lots more people with disabilities to get involved. Infectious enthusiasm goes a long way here.

Please view the extraordinary story of Giro’s Persuasive Powers here.

The Role:

As a Multimedia Support Worker you’ll make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. You’ll be working on a on-to-one basis with people with learning or physical disabilities or Autism, so some will have challenging behaviour, complex needs or require personal care. Your day-to-day responsibilities will focus on the use of the latest technology as you create digital communications and update the personalised programs they use, and you’ll also assist them and other Support Workers as they use a wide range of hardware, equipment and educational software.

Encouraging service users to be independent and develop the confidence to take more control of their lives, you’ll provide the assistance they need as they improve the quality of their lives, cultivate meaningful relationships and enjoy engaging, creative activities. Don’t worry if you haven’t got all the skills and expertise you’ll need – we’ll provide you with training in person-centred active support and the PROACT SCIPr-UK framework as you create innovative multimedia sessions that will help the people you work with achieve their goals and, in some cases, secure paid employment.

It goes without saying that you’ll use confidentiality guidelines when handling any personal information, promote their equality, diversity and human rights, and be accountable for their health both inside the building where you work, and outside when escorting or – if you hold a UK driving licence – when working as a driver.

Training staff in other services in the use of multimedia equipment and software will be another key task, as will supporting the Multimedia Service Manager with archiving, cataloguing and data protection. We’ll also expect you to liaise with other teams, external agencies and families to promote the use of multimedia and assistive technology, create instructional and promotional videos, keep up to date with the latest developments in equipment and technology, and maintain your knowledge of current policies, procedures and safeguarding initiatives.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To be a success in this vital role you should have plenty of practical experience in the use of the latest digital communication technologies, the ability to work alongside people with complex and enduring needs, and the skills to plan individual support and group activities that meet their requirements. A highly motivated and collaborative team player, and capable of contributing to and implementing person-centred planning, you’ll possess good understanding of current legislation regarding capacity, consent and safeguarding, experience of promoting equality, diversity and human rights, and well developed knowledge of the use of multimedia, information and assistive technology.

A skilled and confident communicator, and able to work in partnership with people with learning disabilities, their families and carers, case managers, health professionals and other agencies, you’ll be committed to empowering our service users to develop their independence and live fulfilled, positive lives. When required, you should be prepared to provide personal and intimate care, including moving and handling, and be capable of working with people whose behaviour may cause harm to themselves, others or the environment.

You should possess good written English and basic financial skills, and an NVQ/Diploma Level 2 or comparable in Health and Social Care or a similar qualification is desirable. In addition, a current UK driver’s licence would be an advantage. This is a Support Worker role with a difference, and a superb opportunity to make a positive difference to peoples’ lives with a service that’s always looking to build on its resources to empower everyone who uses it.

Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace. Care Leavers seeking their first job and who wish to be considered under our scheme, will automatically be invited to interview should they meet the essential criteria for the role.

We reserve the right to extend or close this vacancy early without warning subject to the volume of suitable applicants.

Admissions Officer WCC623582 (Westminster, LND, GB)

Job Details:

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF KAKOLI’S PASSION AND DRIVE

Children’s Services in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where inspirational people like Kakoli are dedicated to encouraging everyone they work with to be the very best they can be.

Ever since she was a child, Kakoli has believed that children are the ones who’ll change the world for the better. Who’ll create the future we all wish for. And she always knew her calling was to get on the front line and help those who might not be as fortunate as herself.

Driven and passionate about making a difference, she first joined Westminster as a Social Work Assistant, and her managers immediately saw she had huge potential, so they encouraged her to apply to study for a degree in social work. She passed with flying colours, and over the next fourteen years worked as a frontline Social Worker, a Senior Social Worker, a Deputy Service Manager and is now one of our Service Managers.

Kakoli’s vision is as clear now as it was all those years ago – to encourage and support children, and help them grow in safe, vibrant communities. Her achievements are many, but she’s most proud of the fact that these days Westminster doesn’t ‘do things for families’ but ‘does things with families’. And she believes this huge but subtle difference to the way we work has allowed thousands of children in Westminster to fulfil their potential and live their dreams.

The Role:

As School Admissions Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to the lives of children, young people and families. Joining a small, close-knit team of people working on access to education across Westminster and our neighbouring borough of Kensington & Chelsea, you’ll focus on admissions and transfers at both primary and secondary level. Playing a key role in recording, monitoring and tracking the data on starters and leavers supplied by schools, you’ll also provide assistance and support which will include dealing with enquiries from members of the public, schools and other agencies.

Representing the two boroughs when completing applications with parents and carers who are applying for a school place, and attending schools and other venues to provide advice on the application process, you’ll assist with the development and maintenance of relevant computer databases. We’ll also expect you to work closely with the Special Educational Needs Team in administering the arrangements for the primary to secondary school transfer of pupils with Child Health & Care Plans, and for those starting school for the first time.

You’ll have a wide range of additional responsibilities – these include working with the Children Missing Education Officer to ensure children not receiving education are identified quickly, promoting the safeguarding of children, and supporting the preparation of paperwork for independent appeal panel cases. Dedicated to keeping up to speed with the School Admissions Code, you’ll monitor and advise schools on good practice relating to admissions matters, and undertake general administrative duties when required. These could include distributing information to schools, taking minutes and distributing the agendas of meetings, preparing correspondence from MPs and elected members, and developing positive relationships with colleagues, parents, schools, governors, headteachers, councillors, other local authorities, the DfE and other related bodies.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To be a success in this stimulating and busy role you should have plenty of experience working in either a Local Authority or a customer/client focused service, well-developed IT skills in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook, and the ability to use databases and adapt to new technology. While admissions experience is desirable but not essential, you should have some knowledge of the functions of a Local Authority and a full understanding and appreciation of the challenges and changes facing an education service.

It’s important that you’re capable of interpreting relevant legislation and guidance and applying it to your work, and in addition to good numeracy skills, you should also possess the ability to handle invoice processing and draft grammatically correct correspondence. Your superb communication skills will allow you to interact effectively with people at all levels, and to maintain a positive attitude in challenging situations and when dealing with difficult service users. Committed to respecting strict confidentiality requirements and standards, especially with issues concerning the Freedom of Information and the Data Protection Acts, you should also have good knowledge of our policies on equal opportunities, and the skills to apply them in the work place.

Ours is a fact-paced, collaborative and flexible team environment, so you’ll be ready to organise and prioritise a varying workload to meet tight deadlines, often while working under pressure and with shifting priorities. With plenty of initiative and a proactive attitude towards providing a customer focused service of the highest quality, we’ll also expect you to be empathetic, a natural problem solver and an innovative, analytical thinker.

Highways Development Planning plays an important role in shaping new communities. We do this through our advice on development proposals, influencing place making and ensuring new development is supported by necessary highway and transport infrastructure.

You will contribute to the smooth operation of the Development Planning Team and help deliver the highway pre‑application service to ensure timely and high‑quality advice.

The role also involves preparing committee reports and supporting the production of technical reports and briefs for local authorities, consultants and other key partners. Throughout your work, you will maintain awareness of corporate and departmental requirements, including equalities, health and safety, and sustainability, and apply them in your day‑to‑day responsibilities.

What we’re looking for:

We are looking for someone educated to A‑Level standard (or equivalent), with strong IT skills and the ability to quickly learn new processes and procedures. You will bring effective communication skills, ideally with some experience presenting and engaging with customers, along with the ability to draft clear responses to a range of transport-related issues. Strong interpersonal skills, the ability to analyse data and prepare draft reports, and being a committed team player are all essential.

Work location: Kensington Town Hall, Hornton Street, London, W8 7NX
Hours per week: 36
Contract type: Permanent
Vetting requirements: Enhanced DBS Check
Closing date: 8 April 2026

About Us:

Children’s Services at Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a world of extraordinary stories where compassionate people bring everything to their work, including their own experiences of parenting.

Melissa’s more than a social worker; she’s a shining example to the families she works with every day.

The Role:

As a Social Worker for the Children with Disabilities Team in Children’s Services, you too can make a powerful contribution. We offer our care and support to the children and families residing in Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Our “outstanding” work has gained the praise of Ofsted, Westminster and RBKC.

Unusually for a social work team, we often see children through each stage of childhood. So, your work could involve supporting post-diagnosis, safeguarding, right through transitioning into adulthood. As a team, we liaise with a wide range of professionals, from health services to schools to the voluntary sector, to ensure that children get the right support.

Your goal is to safeguard and secure the well-being of our children and young people, whilst ensuring that all statutory processes are fulfilled. You’ll work to empower families, strengthen their resilience to safely care for their children, and achieve the best outcomes possible.

You’ll be attentive and proactive at identifying when a child is at risk or in need. Finding and delivering the best protective support. For children that are unable to safely live with their families, you’ll find security and stability. You’ll represent the local authority as the corporate parent for children who are looked after or leaving care.

We’re a very competent team, focused on delivering top quality work. Join us and help us to improve the lives of the children of Westminster to an even greater extent.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

You are currently registered with and have a qualification recognised by Social Work England. The expectations of the Children Act 1989 and 2004 are familiar to you. This is backed by experience working with vulnerable children and families. In particular, you may have worked with disabled children or in an adjacent service, such as Permanency Care Planning, Leaving Care and Child in Need support.

Your approach is based around needs-led planning and reviews. Analysing complex information and implementing SMART plans of action. When you assess needs and risk, you keep the child at the centre, whilst facilitating opportunities for change. When needed, you work collaboratively with a range of professionals.

Plus, you’re comfortable engaging and assessing families from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. You can understand and support families in overcoming complex problems. From the very young to near adults, you’re confident working directly with children, including those with particularly challenging behaviours, underlying vulnerabilities and traumas.

To be a success, you’ll need good verbal and written communication skills. This will include writing a range of good quality reports, according to statutory expectations and deadlines. Also, you’ve got great organisational skills, an ability to manage time effectively, and a knack for balancing the competing demands of direct work, record keeping and statutory processes.

You will need to be able to focus on very in depth computer processes which require two computer screens and multiple windows open at any one time; you will need to be able to multitask and be prepared to stop what you’re doing to serve somebody, and pick up again where you left off.

You will be reuniting people with property so you need to show empathy to make the collection of items after an investigation as minimally distressing as possible.

We are looking for someone with attention to detail, someone who can both follow instructions (written and verbal), work by themselves and find information, we also need you to be conscientious and precise with a high standards of quality. Not only will you be working on your own or as part of a team, you will also need very good customer service skills as you will be working with internal and external customers who all need to be treated as individuals.

Resilience and the ability to remain calm under pressure are qualities we are looking for as some of our customers will attend requesting their property back when we still need to hold onto it for evidence.

Good communication skills are essential.

Be aware that some of the evidence you will be handling may be distressing or unpleasant / contaminated.

Adult Social Care Accommodation and Care Lead WCC623793 (Westminster, LND, GB)

Job Details:

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE POWER OF CREATIVE THERAPY

Adult Social Care in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where our passionate, caring and committed professionals do brilliant work every day.

Mr J’s mental health had declined in which he was admitted to hospital. While he was being looked after we grew concerned about his personal care and lack of routine, and quickly realised that he needed social care support, to support his independence and help prepare him for a successful return to the community he loved.

By the time he left hospital, Mr J felt much more positive, confident and hopeful about the future. His journey illustrates how our amazing Social Workers transform lives for the better, and focusing on a person’s creativity, strengths and connection to their community can make a world of difference to their mental health.

The Role:

As an Adult Social Care Accommodation and Care Lead in our Bi-Borough Learning Disabilities Service, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Working predominantly on housing solutions for adults with care needs, you’ll play an incredibly important role in delivering vital services that support residents to live healthy, fulfilling lives.

Supporting the coordination, delivery and continuous improvement of complex capital projects, you’ll ensure senior leaders and stakeholders have accurate oversight of project delivery. This role requires strong communication skills, the ability to convey project planning data and budget tracking information to relevant parties, and the proactivity to prioritise work based on strategic impact.

Acting as a source of best-practice technical and project management support to colleagues and stakeholders, you’ll be confident adjusting your communication style to fit your audience, which might include senior leadership, frontline practitioners, residents and partners.

Prioritising resident needs and using their feedback to shape service delivery is at the heart of this role. Maintaining open channels of communication, you’ll coordinate feedback, facilitate engagement sessions — such as meetings, workshops and events — and analyse data to produce actionable insights that support service improvement.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

A strong communicator with experience supporting successful project delivery in a relevant setting, you’ll be confident planning, prioritising tasks and coordinating resources to keep projects on track. You’ll have the ability to collect, analyse and interrogate data to facilitate service improvement, and you’ll be comfortable communicating your findings to senior colleagues.

On a personal level, you’ll be proactive, adaptable and capable of delivering at pace. Empathetic and open-minded, you’ll have the ability to explain complex ideas simply, actively listen, and employ tact and sensitivity where necessary. When challenges arise, you’ll take a practical approach to problem-solving, using setbacks as an opportunity for learning and growth.

More than anything, you’ll be a person passionate about improving outcomes for adults with care needs. This role offers a fantastic opportunity to drive meaningful change at scale, and to join a close-knit, industry-leading team that puts residents at the heart of everything they do.

What We Offer:

At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best, that is the Westminster Way.

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF ADULT SOCIAL CARE

Adult Social Care Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where our passionate, caring and committed professionals do brilliant work every day.

Mrs D was frail and unwell. Her son was her main carer but he wasn’t coping. We stepped in to help but they were hostile to outside agencies. They’d always lived together and were terrified they’d be split up. Our social worker did a great job persuading Mrs D to get hospital treatment and a temporary stay in a care home. In an epic effort throughout COVID, she gained the son’s trust and sorted all the repairs, carers and nurses needed so that Mrs D could come home to live with her son. We also got Mr D regular respite and a personal budget awarded in recognition of him as her carer. After all, there’s nothing more important than living the life you want.

The Role:

You can make your own powerful contribution as a social worker in this team.

The cases range from long-term medical conditions to non-acute mental health needs, autism, transition cases, dementia and end-of-life care. Supportive and creative solutions that deliver what everyone here wants for our service users: independence, dignity, choice, self-esteem and the best wellbeing possible.

This is also a chance to get involved in management activities, including budgeting, resource planning, inductions and reviews, and making central contributions to the team’s reports.

All of this means lots of competing priorities, of course. But there’s a vibrant, collaborative mentality here that guarantees help on hand when you need it.

And as you make life better for service users, we’ll give you all the encouragement you need to take your career further here too as there are lots of development opportunities within the department as well as Westminster Council.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

Previous experience in a local authority setting is essential, along with experience in implementing safeguarding procedures and risk assessments.

You should be a natural communicator and able to quickly build strong working relationships, both with colleagues, managers, other professionals as well as service users

A sound knowledge of relevant legislation, personalisation and self-directed support is also essential.

You should have solid IT skills and a Social Work qualification.

What We Offer:

At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best, that is the Westminster Way.
