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

The Regeneration, Economy and Planning directorate 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.

Please view the extraordinary story of Serena’s Vision **here**.

**The Role**:
Joining the Central Area Planning Team, you’ll focus on the West End of London, which encompasses the neighbourhoods of Soho, Marylebone, Mayfair and Fitzrovia. It’s a dynamic district with plenty of development taking place. The townscape is varied with a large number of listed buildings and several conservation areas. It also includes several shopping streets of international importance: the improvement and diversification of Oxford Street is a particular Council priority.

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

**About You**:
You are likely to have a background in planning as you will need an up-to date knowledge of all planning matters, including design and sustainability. You have the confidence to influence key stakeholders such as major landowners and developers, convincing them what is best for the community. In addition, you’ll have the tact and empathy to deal with people who may be affected by complex and sensitive planning proposals.

Good communication and interpersonal skills are therefore essential. Highly organised, you’ll have the ability to manage a busy caseload and clear the decisions of colleagues. You’ll be ready to motivate and coach others.

**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.
