**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HAYLEA’S UNBEATABLE SPIRIT**

Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people use their optimism and talent to achieve more than anyone thought possible.

Nobody personifies this more than Haylea Navarro. Born with cerebral palsy and paralysed down one side since birth, Haylea has been gleefully proving people wrong ever since. Now a project officer, she brings faster broadband connectivity to Westminster businesses, boosting the economy for all. Throw in her gong at the 2020 London Apprenticeship Awards, and it’s clear for all to see just what can happen when you never give in.

Please view the extraordinary story of Haylea’s Unbeatable Spirit **here**.

**The Role**:
As a Community Safety Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution by making Westminster as safe as it can possibly be.

Our Community Safety Partnership impacts on every resident, at every stage of their lives. We want people to be born into a borough that is safe and supportive, and to then go through life confident in the knowledge that they are living in a truly exceptional neighbourhood. We want people to feel free to be themselves, and to achieve everything they want to achieve. And with the support of Community Safety Managers who will support you in a range of fulfilling day-to-day activities, you will be central to helping us deliver on this vision.

At the heart of your work will be a number of vital priorities. Firstly, you will help us make the West End a safer place for residents and visitors, plus anyone who has a business in the area. Secondly, you will help us tackle violence and exploitation, including violence against women and girls, and serious youth violence. And thirdly, you will enable us to deliver on our overarching determination to create safer and more confident neighbourhoods - places that residents are proud to call home.

You will do this by helping us develop and deliver community safety projects, nurturing initiatives from first concept through to getting them up and running and then evaluating their success. This will include building relationships with relevant partners (such as other teams in the local authority, external providers and voluntary and community organisations) and you will prepare and present reports at events, meetings and working groups. Maintaining oversight of commissioned activities, we will expect you to ensure targets and designated goals are being achieved, and you will provide performance reporting to funders.

Putting a community safety perspective at the heart of everything you do, this is a great opportunity to have a tangible impact on our local community and visitors to the area.

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

**About You**:
With the chance to contribute to significant partnerships and present your opinions to the relevant boards, this is a career-defining opportunity to establish yourself as one of our go-to experts for community safety

To be equal to the role, you will therefore have great project management or policy skills, with the ability to build bonds between internal and external organisations. As such, strong verbal and written communication skills will be important, and you will enjoy analysing information to identify where improvements could be made. Comfortable working with everyone from local residents through to board-level colleagues, you will ideally have some knowledge of community safety. This will include an understanding of the issues faced by local government, with an awareness of the legal, financial and political side of public sector management. With good IT skills, you will need to have a well-developed knowledge of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Crucially, you will share our determination to champion the value of a diverse and inclusive workforce and community.

**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.
