**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.

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

**The Role**:
As Social Value Coordinator you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success when you join the new team that’s helping the Council and our partners spend more with under-represented organisations - these include small businesses, community organisations, global majority owned businesses and social enterprises. Developing relationships with strategic suppliers and local business networks to advocate and facilitate local spend and supplier diversity, you’ll leverage the related social value input to structure a package of support for the organisations we’re targeting. This could include business shadowing, mentoring, pro bono advice, networking opportunities and training.

Presenting the service and its benefits to business networks, you’ll conduct research into the issues that London-based SMEs face in penetrating various markets, and identify barriers that strategic suppliers and business networks have in engaging and buying from SMEs. Working with our procurement team to ensure that the social value outcomes relating to local spend and supplier diversity are built into the tendering process, you’ll support the delivery of events, workshops and training for targeted organisations, with the aim of increasing spend with SMEs and encouraging higher value contracts.

You’ll have a number of additional responsibilities, including tracking, monitoring and reporting on increased spend with SMEs, and helping to promote achievements and the impact of social value commitments. We’ll also expect you to conduct desk research to gain insights into best practice, and join London-wide networks to keep informed and share knowledge.

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

**About You**:
With well developed experience of engaging with businesses and building relationships to deliver a positive impact within communities, you’ll have worked with partnerships and SMEs in a similar role, and delivered and managed successful events. Capable of using data and feedback to continuously improve services, you’ll have good knowledge of the London SME market and its needs, and a practical understanding of social value and corporate social responsibility.

A proactive relationship builder with a positive and engaging approach to your work, you’ll have the ability to converse with, understand, influence, establish and maintain credibility with business leaders. With this in mind you’ll be skilled at managing relationships with a range of different organisations and individuals, and be a natural problem solver with the capacity to devise and implement innovative solutions.

We’ll also expect you to have excellent IT skills, with a particular focus on the Microsoft Office suite of software, and your superb verbal and written communication skills will allow you to build a confident rapport with stakeholders, external partners, managers and colleagues.

**What We Offer**:
With well developed experience of engaging with businesses and building relationships to 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.
