**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 an Emergency Preparedness Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to creating a safe and resilient environment for our residents, businesses and communities. Over the years, Westminster has had to deal with many major incidents such as fires, flooding, terrorist attacks, utilities failures and much more. Ensuring that we are ready to respond to and recover from future events is critical.

You will help to create build resilience and champion emergency preparedness across the Council in coordination with a London-wide network of response agencies. Working as a key member of our Resilience Team, your challenge is to learn from past events to develop plans and procedures, as well as to maintain and deliver a comprehensive training programme for emergency response roles. Your input will be vital in raising awareness of risk and creating a culture where ‘resilience is everybody’s business’. When incidents or emergencies do occur, you’ll be in the frontline, supporting local people and businesses when they are most at need.

Please refer to the **Job Description** for more information.

**About You**:
You’re likely to have a background in emergency planning and resilience in a local authority or other large organisation. You will have worked successfully in partnership with a number of different organisations and will be used to managing multiple priorities and deadlines, including working in high-pressure situations. The ability to influence and negotiate with others is important and you should also have well-developed project management and planning skills. You must be willing to be regularly on call overnight and at weekends, and also to work outside normal office hours in response to major incidents.

**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.
