WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL-1
City Of Westminster, London
About Us: THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Innovation and Change in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people use their vision and commitment to open doors for the next generations. Nothing beats the feeling of helping someone find their passion. At Westminster City Council, our City Lions team helps young local people engage with culture, creativity and dreams. When they came across a lonely, isolated 16-year-old who called himself a failure, they knew what to do. They worked 1-2-1 to find the thing this boy really loved. YouTube, it turned out. But it's impossible to turn that into a career, right? Wrong. A week later, he was enrolled on the British Film Institute film-making programme. It was the ultimate light-bulb moment. And it turned him into what he is today - a budding Spielberg with a world of opportunity at his feet. The Role: As one of our Infrastructure Planning and Delivery Programme Officers, you can make your own powerful contribution to the lives of our residents. From environmental improvements to recreational facilities, you'll use contributions from developers to deliver local infrastructure and support the council's Fairer Westminster objectives. These objectives place residents at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city's future. These two-year fixed-term contracts are an opportunity to acquire or build on knowledge of infrastructure planning and delivery as part of one of the largest infrastructure planning and delivery authorities in the country. With millions of pounds collected and invested every year, we can make a real difference to the local community, as well as businesses and visitors. You join us at an exciting time as we look to implement a combined infrastructure planning and delivery function. You'll have the opportunity to manage your own caseload but with the support of an established and experienced team. Together you'll collect and invest significant financial and non-financial contributions, ensure accurate and detailed records, and support the delivery of key infrastructure projects. You'll need to foster good working relationships between the council, developers and other external stakeholders such as consultants. This is a busy team and there can be challenges but your work will have a lasting legacy for Westminster and its communities. About you: We're looking for people who want to rapidly develop their infrastructure planning and delivery skills and are ready to make the most of the development opportunities on offer. Like the rest of the team, you'll need to be adaptable and resilient, flexing to follow corporate decisions and changes in legislation. Experience of town planning or infrastructure planning would be beneficial, especially the management of S106 agreements or the calculation of payments under the Community Infrastructure Levy. Good numerical skills and a command of written and spoken English are both essential. You'll also be well-organised with strong influencing and negotiation skills. 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. At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best, that is the Westminster Way. To find out more about how we do this visit 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. The Council is a Disability Confident Employer. If you have declared a disability in your application, we guarantee an interview if you meet the essential criteria of the job. If you are invited for interview, you will be asked if you need any reasonable adjustments in order to attend, and we will make these wherever possible. Closing date: 26 April 2024 Interview date: Week commencing 13 May 2024 Contact details for Informal discussion: Isobel Williams, IPD Programme Manager, via email:
