**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SERENA’S VISION**
Growth, Planning and Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where innovative and open-minded people bring everything to the cause. Even expertise from surprising places.
Take Serena. She is an absolute force of nature at the heart of our Church Street regeneration. And she puts the residents first in everything. Serena’s vision is clear. Regeneration isn’t just about bricks and concrete. It’s about communities. It’s about the environment. It’s about the lives of people and how they feel about where they call home. Serena is their advocate, making sure residents’ voices aren’t just heard, but drive the changes we’re making. The future is safe in her hands.
**The Role**:
As a Resident Advocate you can make your own powerful contribution to the lives of Council residents. You’ll be their champion, making sure their voice gets heard on a wide range of matters. It’s a varied and very visible role, doing work that really makes a difference to community cohesion and quality of life.
Whether you’re capturing residents’ views on major works, hosting events, or working with colleagues across Growth, Planning and Housing to plan consultation programmes, you’ll be instrumental to making sure tenants and leaseholders can help to shape the future of their homes and their communities.
We’ll look to you to manage a full range of communication and engagement activities, including written material, digital content and face-to-face engagement. Your varied responsibilities could see you building partnerships with partners to deliver projects for residents, and even seeking external funding.
**About You**:
A positive and proactive person with a relevant track record in a similar role, you’ll bring a range of skills and experience to this post. You have a proven ability to communicate with customers, identify and resolve problems, draft reports, support project or case management delivery, and help make change happen. Crucially, you’re highly organised, committed to excellent customer service, and a real team player.
**What We Offer**:
Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to over 250,000 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.
