**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SERENA’S VISION**

Regeneration, Economy and Planning 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 Senior Ecology and Biodiversity Net Gain Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution by promoting urban greening and biodiversity in the heart of London. This is just the tip of the iceberg though, as we have recently declared an ecological emergency, in which we have recognised the monumental impact of climate change and development on our natural environment - and as such, your work will be invaluable in helping us address this crisis situation.

Within the borough, we have much to protect and to be proud of - but it is imperative that we now act with conviction to go further in our work. With around 25% of the borough made up of open spaces, and 33 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs), our local wildlife includes various species of bats, hedgehogs, foxes, insects and invertebrates - so you have plenty to fight for

You will therefore help us accelerate our actions to protect wildlife and enhance biodiversity on a wide range of high-profile challenges. Working within the Town Planning Service to advise applicants, agents and the general public on the potential ecological impacts of their development proposals, you will have the chance to help us create new natural habitats where nature can thrive.

With a focus on generating measurable increases in biodiversity, you will assess desk studies, site assessments, reports and BNG Plans, and share innovative and creative ideas on how nature can flourish within an inner-city environment. Central to this interesting challenge is a legal requirement, in which the Environment Act now specifies that mandatory Biodiversity Net Gains must be a significant factor in any planning processes, so you will also share your expertise with wider teams across the department, contributing to climate emergency and policy projects.

With the scope to grow knowledge and capacity in our department, you will offer guidance and training, and you will also take ownership of devising and delivering an annual monitoring programme for key biodiversity sites and species - so there is an immense opportunity to leave a greener and more biodiverse Westminster for future generations.

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

**About You**:
**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.
