**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF DAPHNE’S INSIGHT**

Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where passionate and expert professionals go above and beyond for their colleagues every day.

Daphne, our champion for people with learning difficulties, is a real beacon. She doesn’t just advocate for colleagues with these difficulties, she teaches managers how to identify and understand the conditions and support their teams at work. Daphne has an innate ability to see the human behind every situation, helping them capitalise on strengths and overcome challenges to be their very best. With her empathy and expertise, she’s a natural. But then, a lifetime of managing her own dyslexia and dyspraxia brings with it unique insight. Our people - and ultimately residents - benefit every day.

Please view the extraordinary story of Daphne’s Insight **here**.

**The Role**:
As the Operational Design Lead in our Community Hubs team, you can make your own powerful contribution by helping us tackle health inequalities within Westminster, and drive a better quality of life for our local residents. We are doing this through the development of innovative Community Hubs, and it is here that you could find a challenge like no other.

We are looking for someone who has bold ideas about how our Community Hubs can meet local needs, not just in the immediate future, but for the long-term too. You will therefore play an instrumental role in designing sustainable spaces and determining how new community facilities will run.

As such, you will find plenty of autonomy in this role in which you will be encouraged to pursue your most ambitious ideas. Undertaking complex financial and management modelling, you will explore a range of operating model options, identifying individual hub requirements and determining how we can deliver on these needs. Carrying out market research and contributing to the development of business cases and Cabinet papers, you will ensure we have accounted for future arrangements within each of these Hubs, addressing both financial and non-financial benefits of different approaches. Whether creating visuals or gathering the information needed to bring these ideas to life, you will be keen to share the practicalities of each project with a wide range of stakeholders, and you will share expertise with less experienced colleagues who are keen to learn. You will also take the lead on procurement activities, so you will develop tenders and appoints the relevant teams and services for each Hub, seeing to it that effective reporting arrangements are in place.

Against the backdrop of a uniquely supportive and dynamic working environment in which colleagues are focused on representing and serving local people to the best of our abilities, this is a valuable opportunity to do something great for Westminster’s communities.

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

**About You**:
Bringing a creative and technical approach to every project, you will have previous experience of developing operational models, and you will have an in-depth knowledge of the associated development and modelling activities. Comfortable working with complex information in order to shape potential financial scenarios, you will use your analytical capabilities to secure approaches that are cost-effective, sustainable and of great value to the local community. You will also have prior experience of developing briefs and tenders for services, so it goes without saying that you will have fantastic verbal and written communication skills, with the capacity to produce insightful reports and visualisations.

As a team, we share values of inclusion, representation, accountability and creativity. We are passionate about collaborating with local people to understand what matters most to them, and we are committed to developing relationships with partners that will enable us to go even further in our work. To make the most of this exceptional challenge, you will therefore understand how best to move from ‘consulting’ with communities, through to collaborating with them.

**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 work
