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

Corporate Services 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.

**The Role**:
As a Press and Social Media Officer you can make your own powerful contribution to innovation across Westminster, while also experiencing your own creative freedom. Joining a team of six committed professionals, you’ll work closely with officers and political members of the council, supporting our reputation in local, regional and national media. You can expect to work across the council’s departments and on at least one cabinet member portfolio. You’ll be researching, drafting and issuing clear, concise stories and messaging to take across a range of channels. You’ll also analyse our media handling effectiveness. The council is mentioned in the media over 1000 times each month, so there’s a stimulating and busy workload. At the same time, access to top-class training from seasoned media professionals will ensure every opportunity to further develop your skills.

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

**About You**:
This fast-paced role would suit someone who thrives on pressure and who can prioritise a busy workload. You’re likely to have some communications experience, including social media. You enjoy working with people, cultivating relationships and writing compelling stories. You bring a proactive and positive attitude, along with the ability to cut through policy jargon and clearly communicate our work to different audiences. You’ll be able to spot good stories and handle reputational risk. Able to use your own initiative and quickly grasp complex issues, you can remain calm in a crisis.

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

**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.
