Westminster, United Kingdom City of Westminster Council Full time

**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HAYLEA’S UNBEATABLE SPIRIT**

Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people use their optimism and talent to achieve more than anyone thought possible.

Nobody personifies this more than Haylea Navarro. Born with cerebral palsy and paralysed down one side since birth, Haylea has been gleefully proving people wrong ever since. Now a project officer, she brings faster broadband connectivity to Westminster businesses, boosting the economy for all. Throw in her gong at the 2020 London Apprenticeship Awards, and it’s clear for all to see just what can happen when you never give in.

Please view the extraordinary story of Haylea’s Unbeatable Spirit **here**.

**The Role**:
As a Policy Officer you can make your own powerful contribution producing planning policy documents and guiding a number of pivotal stakeholders.

You’ll get involved in a new, partial review of our City Plan which includes Site Allocations and Supplementary Planning Documents on key issues like housing and the climate emergency.

Another big focus is Neighbourhood planning. Westminster has 21 different designated areas, and you’ll work closely with their Neighbourhood Forums - taking the lead on specialist planning and infrastructure advice.

All in all, it’s a great opportunity to broaden your policy and planning expertise.

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

**About You**:
A degree in town planning or a related discipline is preferred here. Not least because you’ll need to guide people on local government processes and the planning system from day one.

Beyond this, we’re looking for experience of building partnerships with colleagues, partners and stakeholders of all levels. And the confident communication skills to inspire everyone to work towards the same goals.

**What We Offer**:
Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to over 250,000 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.
