THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF CAROL’S LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY

As the educational arm of Westminster City Council, Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories. From Childcare & Early Years Education to ESOL, and from Accounting and Digital to the Creative Arts and more, WAES’s courses offer unparalleled opportunities to grow, develop and acquire new skills. People like Carol work to help everyone in our diverse communities to achieve their potential and transform their lives.

Carol left a music industry career back in the 80s, to volunteer in a local nursery. It changed her life. Now she’s managing a team to help create life-changing opportunities for children and families across Westminster and beyond. She’s never looked back. She loves working in, and for the benefit of, her local community.

From volunteering to getting a job in a nursery, to studying and becoming a Childcare Development lecturer, to joining Westminster City Council back in 1989, Carol has always seized every chance to keep learning and progressing. And now, she encourages her team to do the same. She puts her heart into enabling people’s development. That’s why Carol and Westminster are so well suited. We’re all about nurturing people too.

Carol’s immensely proud of her team, many of whom joined as learners. They have qualified and progressed. And they’ve achieved an Outstanding Ofsted grading together. She’s also proud that WAES can give opportunities to local people with potential.

Just as enthused and ambitious now as she was 35 years ago, there are still goals Carol wants to achieve for her team, for learners, children and families. With Westminster, she’s in exactly the right place to keep doing that.

New Developments Manager WCC623984 (Westminster, LND, GB)

Job Details:

Salary range: £56,436 - £76,872 per annum. Salary negotiable depending upon experience
Work location: Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP
Hours per week: 36
Contract type: Permanent
Closing date: 20 May 2026
Interview date: Week commencing 8 June 2026

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF KATE’S PASSION FOR NUMBERS AND PEOPLE.

Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated and compassionate professionals bring everything to their work.

Take Kate, an absolute wizard at managing housing asset data for our annual £50m capital programme. Kate’s an inspiration to her team. Now a senior manager, she first joined as a college leaver in finance. Through Westminster’s encouragement, as well as her own hard work and determination, she’s gained professional qualifications and taken on a series of increasingly stretching roles.

Today, we depend on Kate’s analytical powers to keep track of the condition of over 21,000 of our tenanted and leasehold homes – from roofs and windows to kitchens and bathrooms. Kate’s committed to achieving the Decent Homes Standard for all our tenants and a high standard for all our leaseholders. Her passion is numbers but, because she grew up in social housing, she also understands the human stories behind the data.

More than that she understands the disruption renewal work entails. So when an elderly resident’s family mentioned that their mother needed not just a new kitchen, but adaptations to her bathroom, Kate got right on to it. She co-ordinated with colleagues to assess the resident’s disability needs.

Kate’s worked hard to ensure our routine external and internal stock condition surveys pick up on repairs and health & safety issues at the same time. And, by recognising patterns in the data that’s gathered, she makes a vital contribution to forward planning for large-scale capital renewal works.

The Role:

As a New Developments Manager, you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. You’ll play a central role in making sure new homes are brought into the Housing Directorate in the right way – smoothly handed over, properly set up and ready to work as part of business-as-usual services from day one.

Working across Housing, Housing Management and Regeneration and Development (R&D), you’ll help shape how new homes are specified, designed and prepared for long-term management. You’ll collaborate with colleagues to make sure design specifications and maintenance requirements line up, and that homes are delivered to the right standards, within agreed timescales and budgets. Using performance data and insight, you’ll help make sure homes transition properly into systems and processes for ongoing asset management, reducing the need for future changes, bespoke maintenance arrangements or avoidable costs.

You’ll also help strengthen how the service works behind the scenes. This includes shaping digital onboarding, supporting asset data assurance and helping develop systems and processes that improve reporting, compliance and long-term management. Taking a lifecycle approach, you’ll work with Finance, Programme and Project teams to build scenarios, set targets and make sure standards continue to improve over time.

The role is also about being the link between different teams and priorities. You’ll represent Housing in conversations with external teams, while also making sure R&D projects are understood internally across Housing in good time. You’ll provide expert advice on housing matters, highlight risks early and help make sure new homes can be integrated into the portfolio in a practical and value-for-money way.

Alongside this, you’ll contribute to innovation in how homes are delivered, support the integration of BIM principles, and act as the new homes lead for asset data assurance. You’ll also help identify investment opportunities, contribute to bids for grants and additional funding, and provide clear reports and audit trails to support senior decision-making.

It’s a role with a lot of collaboration and visibility. You’ll build strong relationships with colleagues, residents, resident groups, councillors and partner organisations, representing the Council confidently and helping shape how new homes are delivered and managed. In short, this is a chance to make sure new homes are not just built, but set up well from the start so they work better for residents and for the service long term.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

You’ll bring experience of working collaboratively across teams and directorates to shape requirements for new homes, balancing resident need with the realities of ongoing repairs, servicing and maintenance. An assets-based background in social housing will be important here, along with a good understanding of asset management standards, assurance approaches and the wider challenges facing local government.

You’ll be comfortable using technical knowledge to sense check proposals, test their validity and develop alternatives where needed. Understanding component information, financial data and value for money will come naturally, and you’ll be able to use appraisal techniques, business cases and scenario modelling to frame choices clearly – including whole-life value, risk and wider social or environmental impact.

A strong grasp of building safety and compliance is essential. You’ll understand the statutory and regulatory framework that shapes the sector, and have experience monitoring performance against legal, regulatory and best practice requirements. You’ll also bring practical experience of Building Information Modelling, including Exchange Information Requirements and BIM Execution Plans, using these to support strong asset data management and digital delivery.

Working with data will be a key part of how you think. You’ll be able to work with asset, repairs and compliance datasets to define the right questions, validate inputs with specialists and turn evidence into useful insight. Keeping systems and records up to date, and making sure portfolio changes are accurately reflected in reporting, will feel like a normal part of the role.

You’ll also be confident acting as an intelligent client – commissioning specialist surveys or consultancy where needed, managing contracts and projects effectively, and keeping clear, auditable decision trails. Preparing reports and briefings for senior leaders, residents and partners will be something you’re comfortable with, and you’ll know how to explain complex information in a way that is balanced, accessible and easy to follow.

Just as importantly, you’ll bring a positive and supportive leadership style. You’ll have experience leading change, working through uncertainty and taking a cross-organisational approach in politically sensitive or similarly challenging environments. You’ll be someone who can coach others, build capability and encourage continuous improvement, while bringing strong communication skills, good IT skills and an innovative approach to problem solving and achieving value for money.

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.

The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce. We especially encourage applications from a Global Majority (GM), people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities' (formally known as B.A.M.E , Black, Asian and multiple ethnic) background and, while the role is open to all applicants, we will utilise the positive action provisions of the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate from a global majority background where there is a choice between two candidates of equal merit. If you are from a Global Majority background you can self-declare this to the hiring manager as part of our positive action commitments.

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

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF GIRO’S PERSUASIVE POWERS

The Learning Disabilities Team in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. We love it when our work touches lives.

Take Stepping to the Beat, the Council’s 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.

The Role:

As Case Manager you can make your own powerful contribution to the lives of people with learning disabilities. Making a big difference for service users with complex needs, and for their families, you’ll be an enthusiastic champion of independence, dignity, choice, self-esteem and wellbeing.

As a member of a specialist multidisciplinary team, you’ll work closely with fellow case managers and social workers, under the guidance of managers with specialist experience in learning disabilities. You will relish the fulfilling challenge of working closely with those in complex circumstances and dealing smartly with budgets to deliver the best possible support.

Whether individuals live in the community independently, with family carers or in supported accommodation, you will take their unique strengths and levels of risk into account when carrying out assessments. We will look to you to take on the role of lead enquiry officer as part of the safeguarding process. You’ll produce person-centred support plans and enable people and their carers to make informed choices about care services.

In return for your commitment you’ll enjoy excellent opportunities for learning and career development.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To join us you’ll need a recognised social work, qualification, plus membership of a professional register. With experience of working in a local authority or health setting, you demonstrate knowledge of relevant legislation and a commitment to the principles of personalisation, independence and choice. Ideally, you will have experience of working with people who have learning disabilities. You will certainly be used to working in a social services duty system as part of a multi-disciplinary team. An understanding of budgets and financial controls is also essential.

Your skills will enable you to start making a difference on day one - from carrying out accurate and timely assessments and promoting self-directed care, through to negotiating with other agencies and keeping comprehensive case records. Your ability to communicate, in person and in writing, with service users, cares and colleagues, really sets you apart.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF INDEPENDENT LIVES

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.

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:

As a Support Worker in our Mental Health Outreach Service, you can make your own powerful contribution to a diverse team who share the same values and vision. You’ll be a valued member of a service where you can make a real difference in the lives of people with mental health challenges. With wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, we work to empower people in achieving their goals. Joining a team where everyone feels comfortable showing up to work as their whole self, you’ll work with colleagues and teams who are involved in the care of your assigned service users, to make sure the best possible service is delivered.

As a key worker for users of our Mental Health Outreach Service, you’ll identify their needs and work with them to develop care plans focused on achieving life-enhancing outcomes. It’s all about promoting independence and emotional wellbeing. You will develop respectful, supportive and sensitive relationships with service users. And you’ll assess, plan, implement, manage and evaluate activities within a person-centered planning framework, which will help people develop valuable life skills. Ultimately, you’ll help people improve their mental health and wellbeing, while securing more control over their own lives.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To make a difference from day one, you’ll need some experience in a health and social care role. You have worked with people who have severe and enduring mental health problems, and with their family and carers. You demonstrate an understanding of key principles which underpin the way we work; social inclusion, independence, empathy and empowerment. As well as the ability to plan and deliver varied activities, you are comfortable producing written reports and statistical data which show the difference we can make.

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.

The Role:

As an Instructor in our Income Generation Programme, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Based at Sayers Croft, a 56 acre site in the beautiful Surrey Hills, you’ll give children living in the city the unique, perspective-changing opportunity to explore green spaces, interact with nature and build friendships.

Responsible for liaising with group leaders to decide the course content of the programme, you’ll ensure that the information delivered to children’s groups is appropriate and engaging. As the first point of contact for visiting groups, you’ll effectively communicate health and safety information, carrying out risk assessments and working proactively to identify potential safety risks to staff and visitors.

Working creatively and innovatively to deliver hands-on projects, understand the needs of our customers, and negotiate solutions to possible issues, you’ll help children fulfill their potential and leave the centre with a new perspective on life.

This role includes a mix of week and weekend working, so you’ll need to be flexible, but you’ll be compensated with days off in the week and enhanced hourly claims for weekends.

A true team player with excellent communication skills, you’ll have the ability to enthuse, motivate and inspire children and young people. Based outdoors, you’ll be prepared to work actively and in all weather conditions, including climbing, working with heavy loads and being on your feet all day.

Most importantly, you’ll be a person passionate about helping children and young people connect with nature, discover new hobbies and interests, and step out of their comfort zones in a safe, supportive environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative, welcoming team that values you for you, and to supercharge your career in the process.

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 the council’s Product and Design team, continuously committed to improving the experience of Westminster’s communities.

The Role:

As Head of Cyber Security you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. This is a senior security role, where the focus is on helping the organisation do its best work – with security built in, not bolted on.

You will lead the Cyber Security team and shape the Council’s security strategy and policies, making sure they are practical and fit for a local government environment. Working closely with colleagues across Digital and Innovation, and alongside the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) and the Data Protection Officer (DPO), you will help embed security into everyday decision-making and into how services are delivered.

A big part of the role is about continuous improvement. You will lead work to strengthen the Council’s security posture, aligning with industry-standard control frameworks and staying on top of the wider threat landscape, including the specific risks facing local government. You’ll help the organisation balance delivery, risk and compliance – supporting informed choices rather than blocking progress.

You will provide clear leadership and direction for the Cyber Security team, including managing the budget for people, tools and capital projects. You’ll oversee business-as-usual security activity, from incident response and vulnerability management through to security engineering improvements and protecting the Council’s supply chain.

You’ll also be a visible advocate for good security culture. You will drive change across the organisation by promoting secure-by-design principles, embedding security into the Software Development Lifecycle, and supporting teams to make safer choices when selecting products and services. Through security communication and engagement campaigns, you will help build understanding and shared ownership of security at all levels.

The role has a strong external and operational dimension too. You will represent the Council in local, national and international forums and partnerships, sharing insight and learning from others. You will also play a key role in responding to major incidents – supporting Borough Emergency Control Centre activation, taking part in the emergency rota, and coordinating responses with the Executive Team, the Security Operations Centre and cyber incident response partners.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

You bring a strong, practical understanding of cyber security and how it supports real business outcomes. You’ve worked with recognised standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and Cyber Essentials, and you know how to apply information and security legislation – including GDPR, FOI and PCI DSS – in ways that enable delivery rather than restrict it. You also stay close to the evolving threat landscape and understand the organisational challenges that come with managing risk in a local government context.

Your technical background gives you deep knowledge of modern security practices across services, infrastructure, hosting and platforms, including open-source technologies and modern software development approaches. You’re comfortable working across cloud and on-premise environments, using tools such as identity and access management, SIEM, firewalls and secure remote access. You understand DevOps and SecOps ways of working, are used to operating at pace in a culture of continuous release, and can set clear service and development standards.

You’re confident balancing client, organisational and technical needs, and making the trade-offs that shape strategy and direction. You’ve worked closely with senior stakeholders and across multiple teams, bringing people together around complex decisions. With experience building and securing complex services in code, you understand how security design choices play out in practice, not just in theory.

You communicate clearly and in understandable terminology, bridging the gap between technical detail and user-centred outcomes. You can assess services, identify risks and vulnerabilities, and work with others to design secure, proportionate solutions that reduce risk while keeping services accessible. Comfortable influencing strategy, policies and behaviours, you adapt your approach as needed and stay effective in a fast-changing environment.

The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce. We especially encourage applications from a Global Majority (GM), people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities' (formally known as B.A.M.E , Black, Asian and multiple ethnic) background and, while the role is open to all applicants, we will utilise the positive action provisions of the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate from a global majority background where there is a choice between two candidates of equal merit. If you are from a Global Majority background you can self-declare this to the hiring manager as part of our positive action commitments.

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.

Westminster City Council’s strategy is to work towards a Fairer Westminster. A Fairer Westminster is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city’s future. By working directly with our communities and other partners, we can build a more inclusive city that celebrates our diverse communities, and where residents, workers and visitors from all backgrounds will feel welcome and safe.

As a forward thinking Council we appreciate that people work in different ways, therefore our staff benefit from working a range of flexible working patterns as well as Agile working.

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

And now, she encourages her team to do the same. She puts her heart into enabling people’s development. That’s why Carol and Westminster are so well suited. We’re all about nurturing people too.

Carol’s immensely proud of her team, many of whom joined as learners. They have qualified and progressed. And they’ve achieved an Outstanding Ofsted grading together. She’s also proud that WAES can give opportunities to local people with potential.

Just as enthused and ambitious now as she was 35 years ago, there are still goals Carol wants to achieve for her team, for learners, children and families. With Westminster, she’s in exactly the right place to keep doing that.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF KATE’S PASSION FOR NUMBERS AND PEOPLE.

Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated and compassionate professionals bring everything to their work.

Take Kate, an absolute wizard at managing housing asset data for our annual £50m capital programme. Kate’s an inspiration to her team. Now a senior manager, she first joined as a college leaver in finance. Through Westminster’s encouragement, as well as her own hard work and determination, she’s gained professional qualifications and taken on a series of increasingly stretching roles.

Today, we depend on Kate’s analytical powers to keep track of the condition of over 21,000 of our tenanted and leasehold homes – from roofs and windows to kitchens and bathrooms. Kate’s committed to achieving the Decent Homes Standard for all our tenants and a high standard for all our leaseholders. Her passion is numbers but, because she grew up in social housing, she also understands the human stories behind the data.

More than that she understands the disruption renewal work entails. So when an elderly resident’s family mentioned that their mother needed not just a new kitchen, but adaptations to her bathroom, Kate got right on to it. She co-ordinated with colleagues to assess the resident’s disability needs.

Kate’s worked hard to ensure our routine external and internal stock condition surveys pick up on repairs and health & safety issues at the same time. And, by recognising patterns in the data that’s gathered, she makes a vital contribution to forward planning for large-scale capital renewal works.

The Role:

As a Fire Risk Surveyor, you can make your own powerful contribution to ensuring that Westminster City Council’s housing stock remains compliant, safe, and resilient. You will be responsible for managing fire safety actions arising from fire risk assessments and other key compliance documents, overseeing projects from recommendation through to completion.

Working closely with the Head of Fire Safety, you will deputise when required, providing leadership and technical expertise to ensure the consistent delivery of a high-quality, risk-based fire safety service. You will review and quality-check fire risk assessments completed by both internal assessors and external consultants via the council’s fire safety management software, ensuring accuracy and value for money.

A key part of your role will be the allocation and management of fire safety actions, coordinating surveyors, contractors, and supply chains to ensure timely delivery. You will lead on fire safety projects, from the initial identification of remedial works to post-inspection and sign-off, ensuring all actions are completed to the required standards.

As part of your responsibilities, you will also conduct post-fire investigations, working collaboratively with the London Fire Brigade and housing teams, providing detailed reports and driving lessons learned across the service. And you’ll be responsible for updating fire risk registers, managing the quality of supply chain performance through audits, and producing client briefs to support the procurement of fire safety improvement works.

As a subject matter expert, you will provide competent fire safety advice to internal departments, supporting policy development, procedural reviews, and cultural improvements in fire safety awareness. You will also engage directly with residents, attending meetings and supporting the Building Control, Planning, and Section 20 consultation processes as required. Your technical knowledge, leadership, and collaborative approach will help ensure that residents live safely in their homes and that the Council maintains the highest standards of fire safety compliance.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

Bringing substantial experience in fire-related project management, design, servicing, and installation within housing or similar environments, you will be a technically skilled and proactive professional dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of fire safety across Westminster City Council’s housing portfolio.

You will demonstrate deep technical knowledge of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, active and passive fire protection systems, and the fire risk assessment process. This will be supported by experience in building surveying, construction management, or building maintenance, ideally within a local authority or social housing context. Your expertise will enable you to oversee complex projects from inception to completion – balancing compliance, value for money, and resident satisfaction.

You will bring proven experience of quality assuring remedial works, working collaboratively with the London Fire Brigade and other key stakeholders to maintain safety and compliance. Your understanding of the Landlord and Tenant Act, including leaseholder obligations and Section 20 consultation requirements, will ensure projects are delivered with legal and procedural precision.

Highly organised and analytical, you will be capable of managing a varied and demanding workload, using compliance software and reporting tools to monitor fire risk and project performance. Your ability to challenge proposals constructively, assess technical solutions, and make evidence-based decisions will be central to achieving high-quality, cost-effective outcomes.

You will also be an effective communicator – able to explain complex technical matters clearly to senior leaders, councillors, leaseholders, and residents alike. Strong interpersonal skills will enable you to lead by example, motivate others, and build cohesive, high-performing teams.

Holding a NEBOSH Fire Safety Management Certificate or equivalent Level 3 qualification, along with training in fire doors and fire stopping, you will demonstrate a commitment to professional competence through affiliation with relevant bodies such as IFSM or IFE. Your leadership will be visible, inclusive, and grounded in a genuine passion for protecting people, buildings, and communities.

But most important of all, you will bring integrity, professionalism, and a solutions-focused approach – ensuring Westminster continues to set the standard for excellence in fire safety management.

The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce. We especially encourage applications from a Global Majority (GM), people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities' (formally known as B.A.M.E, Black, Asian and multiple ethnic) background and, while the role is open to all applicants, we will utilise the positive action provisions of the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate from a global majority background where there is a choice between two candidates of equal merit.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF TIFFENY’S POWERFUL VOICE

At Westminster City Council, we don’t just listen to the voices and experiences of our residents – we listen to our people too. Tiffeny is a single mum whose young son has ADHD and before joining our team, she never thought she’d find a job that gave her flexibility and freedom to support her son’s needs. As a neurodivergent woman herself, she also never expected to be part of a team that not only supports her needs, but actively celebrates them – where people encourage her to be her true self. And that’s what she found here at the City of Westminster.

Working as an Engagement Officer Within the corporate property team means that she gets to meet people from all walks of life within the community supporting the development of positive change, especially being the voice for young people where it matters – in education, training, or employment. Her experiences and her amazing ability to relate to others means that within the first few months of joining our team, she’d already made a huge impact on things like accessibility in the Borough. Tiffeny feels heard and that’s because we know how important it is to listen.

The Role:

As FM Contracts Manager, you too can make your own powerful contribution to a dynamic and diverse Workplace & Facilities Management team, where everyone is encouraged to develop and grow in service of our residents, businesses and visitors. Here, you’ll discover an environment where new ideas about the management of FM contracts and procurement are welcomed – and where agile working makes for a fast-paced workplace. Our creativity and openness enable us to embrace change and thrive. With FM contracts here spanning everything from cleaning to security, from landscaping to pest control, and from mechanical and electrical to catering, variety is guaranteed.

Managing a range of large FM contracts and taking the lead on contract procurement and renewal, you’ll build great working relationships with a wide range of people, both within and beyond the Council. As well as working in partnership with procurement colleagues, you’ll enjoy the challenge of engaging with suppliers to resolve contractual matters. We’ll look to you to lead a team to compose contract specification and KPIs, to maintain records and monitor renewals and alterations, and to develop performance reports. Through analysis, intervention, challenge and problem solving, you’ll champion continuous improvement.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

You’ll bring to the role significant experience of managing contracts and contract performance. Naturally, you’ll have a keen eye for detail and great working knowledge of computerised record keeping, budget monitoring and management. Positive, proactive and highly organised, you’re committed to good customer service.

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.

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.

PCN Link Worker LBHF624118 (Hammersmith, HMF, GB)

Job Details:

Salary range: £37,509 - £38,637 per annum
Work location: 145 King Street, Hammersmith, W6 9JT
Hours per week: 36

About the role

Health is a positive state of wellbeing rather than simply the absence of disease, and as such is determined more by socio-economic factors and degree of social capital than medical conditions. Despite this, health services primarily focus on providing medical management of illnesses rather than addressing the underlying social determinants of health to create wellness.

Social prescribing changes this by helping people who use health services to take control of their circumstances. Whether it relates to debt, housing, or relationships, it helps them to become more confident in navigating their issues, and more connected with and more actively involved in what is already going on in their local community.

LBHF has partnered with North H&F Primary Care Network to deliver a social prescribing service from all 9 of the GP practices in the W12 area. As one of our team of ‘link workers’ you will be the bridge between the GP practice, the local community, and the Local Authority.

In this role you will work to build trusting relationships between organizations and create a shared personalised care and support plan for patients who have been referred. You will support existing groups and help establish new community groups, working collaboratively with all local partners.

This link worker role is about people and places, so we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic individuals who have a passion for people and want to make a difference in the North Hammersmith & Fulham community.

Please refer to the Role Profile for more information.

About Us:

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.

The Role:

As an Assistant (Apprentice) Outdoor Instructor, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Based on a 56 acre site in the beautiful Surrey Hills, you’ll work towards an Outdoor Activity Instructor level 3 apprenticeship whilst being trained to run outdoor activity sessions for groups visiting the centre.

Some of the young people you work with, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), may have never been to the countryside, so you’ll get the incredible opportunity to help them explore the woods, get muddy and build friendships — helping them fulfill their potential and leave the centre with a new perspective on life.

From climbing and raft building to historical studies and archery, you’ll grow and develop your skills under the supervision of some of the UK’s best instructors. Your other responsibilities might include assisting the Grounds person with conservation and grounds management tasks, undertaking risk assessments to ensure the safety and security of people on-site, and attending training events, workshops and tutorials. This is a ‘live-in’ role, so you’ll benefit from free accommodation and will take part in an evening working rota.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

Bringing a passion for education and the great outdoors, you’ll be comfortable being active in all weather conditions. You might have a qualification in Environmental Science, Geography or Biology, or some experience working with children or young people, but this isn’t a necessity.

Part of your day-to-day may include working in our artificial cave system or on our climbing tower, so you’ll be comfortable with heights and in confined spaces. We’ll give you STA pool responder training, but you’ll also need to be a confident swimmer.

Most importantly, you’ll be a true team player capable of taking a motivating, enthusiastic approach to everything you do. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from a supportive team, help young people fulfil their full potential, and set your future career on a brilliant trajectory.

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.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF KATE’S PASSION FOR NUMBERS AND PEOPLE.

Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated and compassionate professionals bring everything to their work.

The Role:

As Chief of Supply & Operations for Temporary Accommodation, you too can make a powerful contribution. This role sits at the intersection of policy, finance, legal and delivery. You will lead our efforts to secure high quality, value for money homes for vulnerable people. Plus, you will oversee significant investment across a complex temporary accommodation portfolio. This will involve the acquisition and leasing of single and multi-unit residential properties, either directly or via specialist third party temporary accommodation providers.

It’ll be your responsibility to develop, manage and deliver programmes that supply residential property for temporary accommodation. Your priorities will be to ensure that these fit legal, regulatory and financial requirements. In particular, you will own the Temporary Accommodation Supply Plan, ensuring that it provides a robust, evidence led framework to inform acquisition and leasing decisions. You will set standards, policy, and performance expectations for temporary accommodation. This will mean ensuring surveying, refurbishment and pre-handover processes are complete. We’d like you to stay informed on best practice and property trends, so that your expertise and decision-making remains sharp.

As a leader, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and lead a newly formed multidisciplinary team. You will shape strategy, governance and ways of working. We’d like you to embed a culture of collaboration, innovation, and accountability. Together, you will deliver compliant, sustainable, cost-effective outcomes for our residents.

Collaboration will be key to this role. By working with Housing Solution Services, you’ll understand their requirements and translate them into long-term acquisition strategies. Across the Council, you will be looked to for advice and support on matters relating to temporary accommodation. You will also establish positive relationships with landlords, so that we can further drive value for money and maximise the provision of high-quality accommodation.

We are a thriving, forward-thinking, inclusive place to work. Join us and you’ll get to make a significant difference to vulnerable people by providing them with fit-for-purpose temporary accommodation.

This is complemented by an in-depth understanding of property valuation standards, planning principles, and market trends.

Strong financial literacy is core to this role. You can produce viability and financial assessments, manage budgets, and drive cost savings. Plus, you have excellent commercial skills and an eye for spotting new opportunities.

You’ll bring experience in leading multi-disciplinary teams within a property service. You’re a strong, visible leader who seeks to develop and inspire those working with them. A commitment to equality and diversity is critical.

Given the nature of our work, it would be beneficial if you’ve worked in a political environment with competing pressures before. You’re aware of the challenges faced by local government. Superb negotiation skills are critical, as you’ll need to secure arrangements in a highly competitive marketplace.

Crucially, you’ll maintain a central focus on our residents – ensuring that their needs are the prioritised in all business strategies.

About Us:

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.

To find out more about our work visit waes.ac.uk

The Role:

As an Accounting Course Leader with Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) you can make your own powerful contribution to our communities. The service offers high quality learning, training and qualifications to people across our borough, and when you join us you’ll use the Mindful Education platform to deliver learning for Level 2 and 3 courses, monitor your students’ engagement and progress, and help to develop course files and the professional pathways curriculum. 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.

But your work won’t stop there - you’ll ensure learners have participated in surveys that gauge their views, take part in the sharing of good practice with other tutors, undertake appropriate training and keep up to date with curriculum developments in your subject area. Committed to complying with all relevant Health & Safety regulations, we’ll also expect you to promote equal opportunities policies in the classroom, throughout the syllabus and in all your relationships with our organisation.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To be a success in this exciting and empowering role you should have plenty of experience delivering AAT qualifications, knowledge of current AAT assessment processes and practice, the skills to teach in both online and one-to-one environments, and the ability to use Mindful Education or a similar platform to support delivery.

It’s important that you possess a strong working knowledge of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to support teaching, learning and assessment in an online and blended environment, and in addition to being a highly collaborative and motivated team worker, you’ll be a creative problem solver.

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.

You’ll be required to work 28.8 hours per week, and depending on the curriculum, hybrid opportunities may be available.

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.

Delivery Lead - Prevention and Solutions WCC624133 (Westminster, LND, GB)

Job Details:

Salary range: £56,436 - £66,084 per annum. Salary negotiable depending upon experience.
Work location: Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP
Hours per week: 36
Contract type: Permanent
Closing date: 1 June 2026

About Us:

The Housing Needs department in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, and for leaders like Rachel, those stories are shaped by experience, fairness and the people she supports every day.

Rachel’s career in housing began on the frontlines, working in a busy contact centre where she supported residents through high-volume enquiries. She went on to progress into homelessness casework, supporting residents with complex and high risk needs, before stepping into senior roles that combined decision making with responsibility for others.

Now, as Housing Register Manager, Rachel leads a team responsible for housing and medical assessments - an area within the service that has a huge impact on the lives of residents. As a manager, she provides clear guidance on difficult cases, quality checks decisions and supports her officers to apply the Westminster Council Allocations Scheme consistently and fairly. Through regular supervision and development discussions, she helps build officers’ confidence and judgement, ensuring her team feel supported to make the right decisions for residents.

At Westminster, we believe Everyone is a Leader. For Rachel, leadership means growing through experience, supporting others to succeed, and ensuring every resident is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.

The Role:

As a Delivery Lead for Prevention, Support and Solutions in our Housing Solutions and Homelessness Service, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Focusing on prevention and early intervention, you’ll shape a high-performing, resident-focused service that helps achieve better outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

Playing a vital role in the transformation of the service, you’ll lead improvement initiatives, influence policy and practice, and work in partnership with colleagues from across the Council, voluntary sector and housing providers. Acting as a visible, proactive presence to stakeholders and in the community, you’ll build trust, offer early support and connect residents with the help they need before crises escalate. Day-to-day, that could involve conducting outreach, drop-ins, home visits and pop-up advice sessions — all with the aim of supporting people in the moments that matter most.

Balancing competing priorities across KPIs, quality standards and budgets, you’ll manage strategic risk and escalate complex cases where necessary. As a leader to your team, you’ll promote a culture of accountability, inclusion and continuous improvement, supporting managers to grow and develop their skills.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

An established professional with extensive experience leading homelessness services with a strong emphasis on prevention, you’ll have delivered measurable improvements in prevention, resident and performance outcomes in a previous role. With demonstrable experience of embedding change in accordance with existing legislation, statutory frameworks and guidance, you’ll have a proven track record of translating policy into effective frontline delivery. Having managed budgets, resources and performance at a senior level, you’ll be confident influencing strategy and balancing service quality with value for money.

On a personal level, you’ll be an open, communicative individual passionate about building a culture of respectful, sensitive engagement with residents. A natural leader capable of staying calm under pressure, you’ll build networks of influence that support community wellbeing, embedding equity and inclusion into everything you do. This is a fantastic opportunity to use your skillset to improve outcomes for residents in one of the country’s most complex housing markets, and to lead a truly people-focused service that intervenes early and delivers innovative solutions.

The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce.

Working as part of a supportive and collaborative team, you will play a key role in identifying and securing high-quality placements that meet the needs of Hampshire’s looked after children.

The Placements & Quality Team (PQT) plays a key role in securing safe, stable and high-quality homes for Looked After Children across Hampshire.

As a Placement Officer, you will play an important role in linking Social Work teams with providers, coordinating home-finding activity and helping to secure the right setting for each child or young person.

Maintain accurate and up-to-date records, including chronologies and tracking tools (e.g. SharePoint/Excel).
Provide clear and timely updates to Social Workers and Team Managers.
Ensure a prompt response to enquiries, including coordinating urgent same-day home-finding activity.
Build and maintain strong working relationships with colleagues and external providers.
Use children’s electronic record systems to ensure accurate recording and compliance.

What we’re looking for:

Essential:

Good standard of literacy and numeracy (GCSE or equivalent).
Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel and Teams.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships.
Ability to manage competing priorities and work on your own initiative.
Understanding of data protection and confidentiality requirements.
Strong attention to detail and accurate record-keeping.
Flexible, team-oriented approach, including ability to work under pressure.

Desirable:

Experience working in a busy or high-pressure environment.
Knowledge of databases and wider MS Office applications.
Understanding of statutory requirements relating to looked after children.

Why join us?

• Opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people.
• Supportive team environment with opportunities for collaboration and learning.
• Access to training and development across commissioning, contract management and Children’s Services.
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements.
• Preparation for future senior-level opportunities.

About Us:

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.

Working quickly to come up with innovative solutions to complex routine and non-routine legal challenges, you will work with a wide range of client directorates and legal colleagues. This means that there will be plenty of scope to start with a routine caseload, before building up to more complex and technical advice, so if you’ve got the ambition to develop your expertise in a collaborative team.

With an overarching aim of helping both councils achieve their desired outcomes, we celebrate a busy yet dynamic environment in which we constantly ask ourselves how we can make things happen. Rather than declining a service, we prioritise challenges and find solutions. Join us, and you will use your knowledge of the law around buying and selling land and leases in the local authority sector to determine how commercial property leases will work from both a landlord and a tenant’s perspective. Getting to know your clients, you will explore their objectives and underpin their decision-making processes with clear legal advice, advising them on risk and helping them secure the best outcomes. This will often be done at speed, as they may need you to translate complex legal issues so that they can take decisions and give instructions quickly – so if you are looking for a constantly evolving challenge in which no two days will ever be the same.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

We champion a truly inclusive and supportive workplace in which colleagues are encouraged to be true to themselves. With more than 30 languages spoken in our team, and everyone being happy to jump into each other’s projects to help out whenever they’re needed, we promote a friendly workplace that’s quite unique. Furthermore, many of our colleagues take the opportunity to volunteer and support charity work, so there is a real sense of community here – so you will excel with us if you are a team-player with a collaborative mindset.

Our work is very much deadline orientated, so you will need to have exceptional time-management and prioritising skills, with the ability to think strategically when under pressure. It goes without saying that you will be a Qualified Solicitor, Barrister, CLIEX Fellow or Associate, and you will be passionate about providing advice relating to the urban environment – this will ideally be underpinned by experience in commercial property, residential property or procurement and planning law.

Comfortable negotiating advantageous terms on behalf of both Councils, you will be capable of dealing with stakeholders at all levels, including Government Departments and other Local Authorities. As such, you will have fantastic verbal and written communication skills, you will be keen to mentor less experienced colleagues, and learn from those who are more knowledgeable. Specifically, you will be able to communicate legal issues effectively, so you will have a good knowledge of a wide range of commercial property challenges including lease renewals, security of tenure, easements, restrictive covenants, charging of assets and other transactional property-related issues. You will also have an understanding of a range of other areas such as the acquisition and disposal of commercial property with the capacity to draft commercial leases and asset management documents.

About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF REGINA’S CARE, SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT

Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories, where inspirational people help our residents acquire new knowledge and skills on the hundreds of courses we offer. People like Regina, are dedicated to encouraging learners as they navigate the world of study and assisting them as they develop their careers.

Regina started at WAES as an Admissions Temp in 2008 through an agency for a 2-week booking. She excelled in this role and was asked to stay on a permanent basis. Regina loved this role as she was able to support and make a difference to people's lives.

Regina always wanted to support people, help them focus on their dreams and make a positive impact on their lives, so when the new posts of Career and Learning Development Officers came up, she didn’t think twice about embracing the challenges of the role. And now her days are spent welcoming new learners, guiding them on their journeys and pointing them in the direction of opportunities they might never have known about before. With the financial support of WAES, Regina is about to finish her Level 6 qualification in Careers Information Education Advice and Guidance.

Yassir is one of her many success stories – born in Sudan, his father’s work meant he moved to a different country every few years, until at the age of 12 he found himself in the UK. He stayed here for a while before moving back to Sudan, but then war broke out and he returned to the UK. He applied for a place at King’s College London and started his studies before falling seriously ill and was forced to drop out. When he recovered, Yassir didn’t know where his future lay but was single-minded in his determination to make something of his life, so he joined WAES and started studying with us, which is when he met Regina. She helped him with his university application, and he is now studying Molecular Genetics at Sheffield University.

Regina is at the heart of our commitment to the residents of Westminster, and her dedication and determination to seek out the best in people is what makes her such an inspiration to her colleagues and the learners she works with.

Drafting high‑quality written advice, summaries and full decisions that stand up to scrutiny.

Advising on licensing policy.

Conducting licensing appeals in the Magistrates’ Court.

Most importantly, you will bring sound judgement, professionalism and a commitment to public service.

Because this is more than a job. It is the opportunity to work on some of the most high‑profile licensing matters in the country, to influence decisions that matter, and to be part of a team that is proud of the impact it makes. At Westminster, everyone is valued, and everyone has the chance to grow, contribute and make a difference.

About Us:

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 developing 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 Commercial and Property Litigation Solicitor, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Joining our specialist Employment, Criminal and Commercial Litigation team, you’ll provide legal and procedural advice on all matters relating to litigation — with a focus on commercial and property litigation.

Your day-to-day will be varied and dynamic — including everything from offering robust, risk-assessed advice, to drafting, preparing and collating reports and legal documentation in support of a busy team. This will include providing specialist advice on a range of matters, including prescriptive rights, rights of way, adverse possession, extension of leases, and appeals against improvement notices.

Acting as an advocate for the Council, you’ll attend meetings with Government Departments and other Local Authorities, responsible for negotiating the most advantageous terms with external parties. You’ll be expected to lead your cases effectively and efficiently, and to support and mentor junior members of the team.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

A qualified Solicitor, Barrister or CILEx fellow (or equivalent), with at least two years of post qualification experience, you’ll bring specialist knowledge of property litigation and commercial litigation. With demonstrable experience of conducting complex cases, including in the Civil Courts, High Court and Property Tribunals, you’ll have an understanding of local authority’s duties and powers in relation to the conduct of civil litigation. Experience of working in local government would be useful, but isn’t essential.

You’ll bring expertise across a range of contention property matters — including disputes concerning development land, property contracts, and landlord and tenant matters. Diplomatic, enterprising and a skilled drafter, you’ll be a strong communicator capable of explaining complex legal issues to non-specialist colleagues.

On a personal level, you’ll have a keen eye for detail and a solutions focused-mindset, capable of working with a high-degree of political sensitivity. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and high performing team with a strong community focus, and to develop your skillset within a fast-moving and challenging political environment.

The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce. We especially encourage applications from a Global Majority (GM), people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities' (formally known as B.A.M.E, Black, Asian and multiple ethnic) background and, while the role is open to all applicants, we will utilise the positive action provisions of the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate from a global majority background where there is a choice between two candidates of equal merit. If you are from a Global Majority background you can self-declare this to the hiring manager as part of our positive action commitments.

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. Westminster City Council is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city’s future. By working directly with our communities and other partners, we can build a more inclusive city that celebrates our diverse communities, and where residents, workers and visitors from all backgrounds will feel welcome and safe. 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.

Head of Service - Solutions WCC624134 (Westminster, LND, GB)

Job Details:

All applications must apply via Starfish. No applications will be considered via any other method. Please do not apply via the SuccessFactors job portal.

Salary range: £79,005 - £98,472 per annum. Salary negotiable depending upon experience.
Work location: Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP
Hours per week: 36
Contract type: Permanent
Closing date: 31 May 2026
Interview date: June 2026

About Us:

Housing Needs in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. For leaders like Marleen, leadership is felt most clearly through the people they support and the service they help shape.

Marleen joined Westminster with a background in homelessness casework, temporary accommodation, and supported accommodation. With experience across housing and social care, they developed a strong understanding of the different ways people can become homeless, and the importance of responding with empathy, flexibility, and sound judgement.

In the Delivery Lead role, Marleen has oversight of some of the most complex areas of Housing Needs. This includes managing temporary accommodation for some of the most vulnerable households, overseeing supply and records, collaborating with other service leaders, and supporting teams working on high risk and complex cases.

What Marleen finds most rewarding is finding person centred solutions, particularly in difficult cases where outcomes are uncertain and pressures are high. Drawing on previous career experience, Marleen brings valuable insight into the challenges officers face and the realities for residents, using this to shape a resilient service and build teams equipped to deliver it.

A key part of Marleen’s leadership is developing others and creating future leaders. They work closely with managers and officers, encouraging open conversations and creating space for people to grow. One of Marleen’s proudest moments was supporting an officer to build confidence, take on new responsibilities, and progress into a management role.

At Westminster, we believe everyone is a leader. For Marleen, being a Delivery Lead means shaping a resident focused service that is responsive, supportive, and always learning, while empowering staff to step forward and lead in their own way.

The Role:

As Head of Service for Housing and Housing Solutions, you too can make a powerful contribution. Westminster City Council’s vision is to build a Fairer Westminster – a city that supports and celebrates its communities through social justice, effective leadership and high-quality services. Delivering Fairer Housing is a core pillar of this ambition and central to addressing inequality across the city. Demand for housing support is at unprecedented levels, with increasing complexity of need.

This role combines strategic leadership with real operational impact. You will lead the Council’s solutions‑focused approach to housing need, with a strong emphasis on prevention, early intervention and sustainable outcomes. Shaping how Westminster supports access to housing, manages allocations to social housing, and secures private rented sector options, so that we can reduce reliance on temporary accommodation and reactive responses. And you’ll ensure that our plans are safe, compliant and cost‑effective.

It’s crucial that you have the confidence to lead change and service stability in a political environment. You will manage multiple stakeholder relationships including fellow Heads of Service, senior officers, elected members, landlords, agents and community partners. You’ll work to resolve cross‑cutting issues across the Council. Therefore, it’s important that you have a strong visible leadership presence across the office and wider community. You’ll look for opportunities for the Council to diversify our connections, through partners and voluntary organisations.

As Head of Service, you’ll oversee the work of our purpose‑driven team, including the Allocations and Advice and Housing Register teams and their Delivery Leads. You’ll promote high‑performance, strategic thinking and innovation. We are passionate about continuous improvement – so you’ll help us to embed data and feedback from residents into how we move forward.

In taking up this position, you’ll have the opportunity to make a lasting, city‑wide change, embed new ways of working, and help to create a more sustainable housing system for our residents.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

You’ll bring strong leadership and expertise in housing legislation, prevention practice and customer experience to this role. This was built through working at a senior strategic level within a local authority, government office, or voluntary sector organisation focused on housing need or homelessness prevention. You have a proven track record in delivering and improving services.

As a leader, you’ve developed and managed diverse multi‑disciplinary teams to great success. You’re focused on inspiring a team to deliver high‑quality, resident‑focused outcomes. And you’re comfortable helping teams adjust to complex change initiatives.

Collaboration with stakeholders is key to this role. We’d like to hear about your experiences building relationships with government agencies, community organisations and residents, including those in senior positions. When issues arise, you’ve been able to respond with empathy and clear reasoning. Strong verbal and written communication skills help you to manage these situations.

It’s important that you have an excellent knowledge of local government. You’re able to think about housing solutions and prevention services within their political context. This will be paired with an interest in housing policy, legislation and advocacy efforts.

As this role will come with financial responsibility, you’ll bring experience in managing budgets and resources effectively, ensuring our sustainability and growth. As we value data‑driven decision‑making, you’ll have familiarity with performance metrics and analytics.

We’re interested to learn about any qualifications, though these are not essential.

The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce.

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.

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 an Independent Living Assessor, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Joining our Community Independence Service, you’ll play a vital role in supporting adults with complex health and social care needs to live safely and independently at home.

Responsible for carrying out assessments and reviews of service users’ functional abilities, you’ll set goals, coordinate support and monitor the effectiveness of packages of care — all with the goal of empowering service users and maximising their independence.

Working collaboratively alongside colleagues, partner agencies and the NHS, you’ll signpost other services that might be beneficial to customers, liaising and negotiating on their behalf to guarantee they get the best service possible. Where needed, you’ll arrange for the provision of specialist equipment, assistive technology and adaptations, ensuring that customers are able to carry out daily activities safely and reducing dependence on statutory services.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

A proactive and empathetic professional, you’ll have some knowledge of the conditions that can lead to a disability, the impact disability has on individuals, and the range of services available to people with disabilities. An understanding of the essential role of care coordination and Trusted Assessor within a social care/ health setting is desirable, as is knowledge of anti-discriminatory practice and the needs of diverse communities.

On a personal level, you’ll be a true team player with excellent time management, prioritisation and written and verbal communication skills. Hungry to learn and committed to the development of both your own skillset, and the service as a whole, you’ll have the ability to vary your communication style to clearly and accurately convey information to users, colleagues, carers and managers.

Most importantly, you’ll be a person passionate about supporting adults with complex health and social care needs to live empowered, fulfilling, independent lives. You’ll work with, not just on behalf of, service users, putting their needs and wants at the heart of everything you do. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an inclusive, multi-disciplinary team, and to supercharge your career in the process.

Job Details:

Salary range: £42,912 - £49,155 per annum. Salary negotiable depending upon experience.
Work location: Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP

Closing date: 2 June 2026

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.

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 a Delivery Manager in our Adult Social Care and Health Commissioning team, you too can make a powerful contribution, delivering work that touches people’s lives at their most vulnerable moments. This role spans both the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is central to developing high quality, diverse care and support services that enable residents to maximise their wellbeing and remain independent and live healthier for longer. You will own and deliver high-impact work across the full commissioning cycle.

Our commissioned services cover a broad range of provision to our service users, including home care, day opportunities, care homes, extra care housing, advocacy, and short breaks for service users such as older people, those with learning disabilities, and individuals with mental health needs. You will be responsible for leading project teams on commissioning and recommissioning projects, ensuring effective service design and delivery. It’s important that you’re able to balance moving projects at pace, while ensuring quality, compliance and good practice. Often, you’ll be handling multiple projects at different stages of the commissioning cycle at once. Through clear documentation, organising regular communication, and project plans, you’ll ensure that projects are delivered on time and to a high standard.

Our work culture encourages collaboration, flexibility, and practical learning. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, empathetic, curious and committed individual to join us and drive forward meaningful outcomes for our residents.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

About You:

To be fit for the role, you’ll be confident in project management and delivery. Good practice comes so easily to you that you’re able to role model it for others. Plus, you can work effectively with a range of stakeholders to drive and keep track of complex delivery programmes.

You have experience working within a legislative or regulatory environment. While it isn’t essential, it would be beneficial for you to bring knowledge in commissioning, public health, adult social care, housing. An understanding of how councils operate and work with partners to deliver services for residents will also be helpful.

Strong relationship building skills are crucial to this role. You can collaborate with and manage stakeholders. A strong negotiator, you can set priorities and manage potentially complex, challenging conversations.

You’ll be comfortable turning to IT solutions to record and share project status and details.

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. Westminster City Council is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city’s future.

Help Shape Hampshire's Future

We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity to join Hampshire County Council’s Spatial Strategy & Insights (S106) Team. This role offers the chance to play a key part in supporting sustainable development across the county through the assessment, approval and monitoring of travel plans associated with new development, helping to ensure that growth is planned and delivered in line with transport policy and planning obligations.

The Role:

You will play a key role in supporting the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the Local Transport Plan. The role focuses on determining when travel plans are required as part of new development proposals, as well as the assessment, approval and monitoring of those travel plans once submitted by developers - thereby ensuring that obligations secured through Section 106 legal agreements are implemented effectively and in line with County Council requirements.

What you’ll do:

You’ll work closely with our Highways Development Control team to identify whether a travel plan is required when the County Council is consulted on new planning applications. Where travel plans are necessary, you’ll assess submissions from developers and consultants to ensure proposals are robust, appropriate and compliant with policy and guidance.

You’ll be responsible for approving travel plans and overseeing a caseload of development sites, ensuring that developers and housebuilders are meeting the commitments set out in their travel plans. The role also involves maintaining accurate records, managing monitoring and approval data, and contributing to continuous improvements in guidance, processes and ways of working through collaboration with other teams across the County Council.

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone with strong analytical skills and the ability to manage a varied workload, balancing multiple workstreams and competing priorities. You will be confident working with technical and sometimes complex transport planning information, with the ability to assess data, apply professional judgement and maintain a high level of attention to detail.

You’ll also be an effective communicator, able to build positive working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, both externally and across the County Council. A collaborative mindset, precision in handling data, and a proactive approach to problem solving will be key to success in this role.

Please note that interview shortlisting will be based on how clearly you demonstrate the essential (and where relevant, desirable) criteria in your application text – please refer to the candidate pack for further information on these.
