**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM**

The Communities Department 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.

Please view the extraordinary story of the Impossible Dream **here.**

**The Role**:
You can spend your next year doing something exceptionally worthwhile - helping our new Communities department match vulnerable residents with volunteers. You will make a real and lasting difference to their futures - and will significantly enhance your own as you build invaluable skills in all aspects of project support.

Whether you’re managing mailboxes, assigning volunteers, maintaining diaries, co-ordinating events and meetings, processing invoices, recording data or preparing detailed reports, every day will bring different challenges. You can also expect a very high profile as you represent the Department at community events to promote our invaluable work and gain feedback from residents.

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

**About You**:
To be ready for this challenge, you’ll need sound administrative experience in a busy project team and proven ability to communicate with people from all walks of life. Supporting events and managing financial transactions should be second nature to you, and you will relish variety, responsibility and the chance to make your mark. Above all, you will be ready to use your initiative to enhance people’s lives - and be passionate and committed about supporting our most vulnerable residents’ in the community.

**What We Offer**:
Westminster is an amazing place. There are 250,000 diverse residents, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people working here every day. Our mission is to create a city for all. We’re an organisation that wants the very best for our residents: a supportive and safe environment, the chance to grow and learn throughout their lives, to build fantastic careers in world-leading industries, to have access to high-quality, affordable housing and to retire into the community with dignity and pride.

We want Westminster to be a place where you can make the most of your talents and thrive as an individual. That’s why we’re proud to have won Best Health & Wellbeing Initiative in the 2020/21 Business Culture Awards. By being the best you can be, you’ll help us adapt to the changing needs of our organisation and communities.

At Westminster City Council, we are passionate about our aim to be an inclusive workplace for all that reflects the communities we serve, and we believe everyone is valued. We particularly welcome applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, including B.A.ME. (Black, Asian and Multiple Ethnic backgrounds), LGBTQ+ and those with hidden or visible disabilities. We’re committed to ensuring all our staff - regardless of gender, age, religion, sexuality, ethnicity or disability - can succeed. We value diversity and appreciate that people work in different ways. So, as a Timewise employer we work to provide flexible working arrangements and an empowering environment that enables you to be your best - that is the Westminster Way.
