    About Us:
    THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SERENA'S VISION
    Regeneration, Economy and Planning 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.
    The Role:
    As Principal Whole Life Carbon Officer you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster's success. You'll join the Town Planning team and support our commitment to achieving Net Zero by reducing Scope 3 emissions associated with construction projects. With the support of the Innovate UK fund and in collaboration with Preoptima, we're currently rolling out our Planning Application Carbon Evaluation and Reduction (PACER) digital platform - this will transform the review of whole life carbon assessments in planning, creating a robust, standardised and transparent process which will upskill officers and collate valuable data for informing policy.
    It'll be your responsibility to oversee the use and integration of this platform, ensuring consistency and accuracy of the review process, liaising with applicants and consultants to ensure its efficient use, and gathering feedback from our stakeholders with the aim of identifying challenges and improving the end-user experience. Supporting Policy Officers as they implement policy and guidance to achieve our Net Zero and Circular Economy aims will be another vital task, and we'll also expect you to provide advice on whole life carbon requirements, and draft guidance and updates to environmental supplementary planning documents.
    But your work won't stop here - you'll also assist the Principle Sustainability Officer in reviewing major applications and applications involving substantial demolition, support the review of carbon options appraisals submitted in pre-redevelopment audits, and critically analyse Whole Life Carbon Assessments submitted for planning applications. In addition, you'll have a number of important budget responsibilities - these include applying and allocating funds to different functions and projects.
    About You:
    To be a success in this vital role you'll have well developed technical knowledge of whole life carbon assessments, datasets and carbon conversion factors, and plenty of experience relating to the development and use of digital tools to undertake this sort of work. And as a collaborative, partnership-focused worker, you'll have promoted awareness of climate change, net zero or environmental sustainability, and supported the uptake of net zero goals. Some knowledge of planning processes would be desirable, as would experience of retrofitting existing buildings, carbon options appraisals, stakeholder engagement and undertaking research to record the impact of interventions.
    Capable of learning from experience, sharing your expertise with colleagues and upskilling the council, your superb communication abilities will see you interacting with a diverse range of stakeholders and presenting complex information clearly. This will include writing project plans, progress reports and policy recommendations, interpreting information from different sources and drawing sound conclusions. A critical and analytical thinker with good problem solving skills, you should also be able to plan your time effectively and deliver to tight deadlines.
    When it comes to qualifications we'll look for a degree in a relevant field - for example in architecture, structural engineering, building services or environmental engineering, and a post-graduate qualification or chartership in a related area would be desirable. Highly motivated, your strong commitment to environmental sustainability and the net zero transition will mean you stay up to date with the latest research and best practices in the fields of whole life carbon, the circular economy and sustainability. In addition, you should also have good knowledge of the latest innovations being employed or developed in the construction industry to reduce carbon emissions.
    Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace. Care Leavers seeking their first job and who wish to be considered under our scheme, will automatically be invited to interview should they meet the essential criteria for the role.
    The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from underrepresented groups in our workforce. We especially encourage applications from a Global Majority (GM), people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities' (formally known as B.A.M.E , Black, Asian and multiple ethnic) background and, while the role is open to all applicants, we will utilise the positive action provisions of the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate from a global majority background where there is a choice between two candidates of equal merit. If you are from a Global Majority background you can self-declare this to the hiring manager as part of our positive action commitments.

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

    Natasha started her career in the NHS. She came to Westminster to do more for vulnerable people. When a family in her community reached out to her after their heating was cut off, Natasha took their situation seriously. Living in terrible conditions, and reaching desperation, they had nowhere else to turn. Natasha stepped in, holding the landlord to account and getting them to improve conditions for the family. These are the moments that make her the proudest. Now, she uses her expertise and experience to empower others.The Role: As Principal Officer, you too can make a powerful contribution.

Building on that success, the Council launched selective licensing on the 24th of November 2025 to tackle poor housing standards and anti‑social behaviour in the wider private rented sector. Selective licensing has been introduced in 15 of 18 of Westminster’s wards covering an estimated 44,000 private rented properties.

    You will assist managers in monitoring performance, writing reports and producing data on Selective Licensing including financial reporting.

    You will support other teams in enforcing property licensing, through preparing evidence packs and intelligence to support investigations. You will also support the service in ensuring debt owed from the service of enforcement notices is accounted for and recovered.

    We’ll look to you to guide the team, shape policy and drive strategy.

    You’ll contribute to continuous improvement of systems, procedures and customer experience. Providing guidance, training and supervision to licensing support staff.

    Closing date: 16 February 2025About Us: Children’s Services at Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a world of extraordinary stories where compassionate people bring everything to their work, including their own experiences of parenting. Take Melissa, a Senior Social Worker in our Assessment Team. She’s one of the first people families meet when accessing our services, so building rapport is critical. And that’s where Melissa’s life experience really counts. She had her first child as a young adult and knows just how judgemental others can be.  Melissa has something unique to offer and it can’t be found in a textbook: her own experience of raising two children as a single parent. She’s committed to empowering others: giving them the skills, resources and confidence they need, from housing support to baby supplies. And if the family has older kids? Well, she’s been there too. Her youngest is now 15 and Melissa knows the challenges of helping young people navigate inner-city life. Melissa first learnt her craft as a support worker, then completed her statutory training as social worker – all while raising her family single-handed. And she’s not done yet. Supported by her managers, she’s been training in systemic therapy and is already looking forward to her next development opportunity. Melissa’s more than a social worker; she’s a shining example to the families she works with every day.The Role: As a Social Worker for the Children with Disabilities Team in Children’s Services, you too can make a powerful contribution. We offer our care and support to the children and families residing in Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Our “outstanding” work has gained the praise of Ofsted, Westminster and RBKC.  Unusually for a social work team, we often see children through each stage of childhood. So, your work could involve supporting post-diagnosis, safeguarding, right through transitioning into adulthood. As a team, we liaise with a wide range of professionals, from health services to schools to the voluntary sector, to ensure that children get the right support.  Your goal is to safeguard and secure the well-being of our children and young people, whilst ensuring that all statutory processes are fulfilled. You’ll work to empower families, strengthen their resilience to safely care for their children, and achieve the best outcomes possible.  You’ll be attentive and proactive at identifying when a child is at risk or in need. Finding and delivering the best protective support. For children that are unable to safely live with their families, you’ll find security and stability. You’ll represent the local authority as the corporate parent for children who are looked after or leaving care.  We’re a very competent team, focused on delivering top quality work. Join us and help us to improve the lives of the children of Westminster to an even greater extent.  Please refer to the Job Description for more information. About You: You are currently registered with and have a qualification recognised by Social Work England. The expectations of the Children Act 1989 and 2004 are familiar to you. This is backed by experience working with vulnerable children and families. In particular, you may have worked with disabled children or in an adjacent service, such as Permanency Care Planning, Leaving Care and Child in Need support. Your approach is based around needs-led planning and reviews. Analysing complex information and implementing SMART plans of action. When you assess needs and risk, you keep the child at the centre, whilst facilitating opportunities for change. When needed, you work collaboratively with a range of professionals.  Plus, you’re comfortable engaging and assessing families from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. You can understand and support families in overcoming complex problems. From the very young to near adults, you’re confident working directly with children, including those with particularly challenging behaviours, underlying vulnerabilities and traumas.  To be a success, you’ll need good verbal and written communication skills. This will include writing a range of good quality reports, according to statutory expectations and deadlines. Also, you’ve got great organisational skills, an ability to manage time effectively, and a knack for balancing the competing demands of direct work, record keeping and statutory processes.  Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace. Care Leavers seeking their first job and who wish to be considered under our scheme, will automatically be invited to interview should they meet the essential criteria for the role.What We Offer: Westminster is an amazing place.

    Closing date: 22 February 2026About Us: Public Protection & Licensing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people are passionate about keeping our streets safe and clean. Take Mohamad, a City Inspector who looks after the Little Venice ward. No two days are the same for Mohamad when he's out and about conducting ward inspections. He could be doing a licensing premises inspection one day and advising businesses and residents on the proper way to handle their waste on another. But before he joined Westminster, he used to work in banking, where he honed his skills in customer service and people management.  And those skills matters because, while he occasionally needs to enforce the law, his job is mostly about building strong relationships: educating businesses and residents about the impact of certain enviro-crimes.  One day he came across some unmarked commercial waste dumped on Edgware Road. Following procedures, he investigated this waste, carefully collecting evidence. Yet, despite his attempts to make contact with the commercial premises, the owners wouldn’t cooperate. Digging deeper, he worked collaboratively with different Westminster departments such as businesses rates and licensing, and discovered multiple businesses registered at the same address. After issuing six different notices, three of the business failed to comply and were successfully prosecuted.  So while Mohamad’s successfully swapped his financial know-how for expertise in local authority legislation, it’s his people skills and powers of persuasion he’s still proudest of. The Role: As a Senior Licensing Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to ensuring that every resident, business, and visitor to Westminster experiences and thrives in a clean, safe, and quiet city. We want to enhance the lives of people and businesses in every corner of the council. Working within, and nurturing an integrated safe city directorate, you’ll work to deliver a culturally competent and inclusive workforce that identifies with and reflects our community. As a council, we have a vision of maintaining a comprehensive licensing service. One that provides proper advice and guidance to applicants, internal officers, members, senior managers and external partners. One that not only processes the licenses and registration applications effectively and efficiently but takes care to manage and store documents properly.  And this all starts with you. By joining our team, you’ll be at the heart of implementing and developing a cohesive policy and strategy. On top of presenting cases at Licensing Officer Panels and Licensing Sub Committees as well as attending public meetings and ensuring compliance though education, you’ll be responsible for monitoring, analysing and managing our delegated budgets and funding. By doing the basics right, we’re able to prepare correspondence, write reports, attend hearings and represent the council with a library of relevant knowledge that makes us the trusted experts.  Please refer to the Job Description for more information. About You: Meticulous, diligent, and influential, your attention to detail will be paramount to your success. As you negotiate with internal and external stakeholders, your people skills will come in handy as you investigate, analyse and provide solutions. With the ability to understand and explain complex legislation you’ll be comfortable working as part of a team but also solo. With relevant skills and experience using databases within an administrative or customer service environment, you’ll be adept when dealing with enquiries and communications from the public. This experience should extend to include a range of public protection and licensing legislation and you’ll have a firm knowledge of the various types of licensing regimes. This demonstrable experience will be paired with excellent written and verbal communication and competence with technology. This is a collaborative role. One that’ll require you to be assertive and tactful as well as confident when leading a team to efficiently complete and prioritise work.  Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace.

    About Us: THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

    Housing and Commercial Partnerships 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.

    Please view the extraordinary story of the Impossible Dream here.The Role: As a Senior Property Surveyor you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. You’ll join our high profile Housing Services, and oversee and ensure building and maintenance projects are delivered on time and to budget. This work will include repairs, planned works and programmes, the refurbishment of empty properties, dealing with dampness and condensation issues, leak detection, planned preventative maintenance and the pre and post inspection of works. In addition, we’ll expect you to oversee the property surveying functions required to manage a portfolio of approximately 5,000 homes, including the structure and fabric of the buildings, internal and communal areas and estate grounds.

    Working with our Area Repairs Managers to implement and develop the systems necessary to regularly inspect the external and communal parts of properties, you’ll identify any requirements for repairs and maintenance, and ensure works are carried out according to urgency and priority. Committed to collaborating with your colleagues as you ensure a joint approach to improving quality and customer satisfaction for our residents, you’ll also highlight key investment needs and considerations to the Property Planning and Assets Team so that works can be planned appropriately.

    You’ll have a wide range of additional responsibilities – these include ensuring that our health and safety management policy is fully implemented and documented, providing strategic leadership within the Housing portfolio, and contributing proactively to the leadership of the council as you work collaboratively to deliver our objectives and priorities. In addition, we’ll also expect you to manage the development and training of a number of Property Surveyors and Trainee Property Surveyors.

    Please refer to the Job Description for more information.About You: With substantial experience of leading and developing an organisational function or service in a multi-disciplined organisation of similar size to ours, and with excellent procurement and supplier relationship management skills, you’ll be capable of managing repair and maintenance services in residential buildings.

    It's important that you have a successful track record of handling large budgets, business planning, quality and performance management, and well developed knowledge of the issues facing local government and the public sector. An inspirational and motivating leader with the passion and drive to take the services we provide to the next level, you should also have the ability to manage political and cultural issues and deliver innovative project, programme and change management programmes.

    When it comes to qualifications you should have a degree in Building Surveying or a similar subject relating to the built environment, and evidence of continued professional, managerial and personal development, such as membership of a relevant professional organisation or a clear plan for achieving this. We’ll also look for superb financial and budget management skills, the ability to deliver economies through creative and efficient working practices, and a flexible approach to your tasks as you work in partnership with other departments and organisations to coordinate services.

    Children’s Services in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where inspirational people like Kakoli are dedicated to encouraging everyone they work with to be the very best they can be.

    Ever since she was a child, Kakoli has believed that children are the ones who’ll change the world for the better. Who’ll create the future we all wish for. And she always knew her calling was to get on the front line and help those who might not be as fortunate as herself.

    Driven and passionate about making a difference, she first joined Westminster as a Social Work Assistant, and her managers immediately saw she had huge potential, so they encouraged her to apply to study for a degree in social work. She passed with flying colours, and over the next fourteen years worked as a frontline Social Worker, a Senior Social Worker, a Deputy Service Manager and is now one of our Service Managers.

    Kakoli’s vision is as clear now as it was all those years ago – to encourage and support children, and help them grow in safe, vibrant communities. Her achievements are many, but she’s most proud of the fact that these days Westminster doesn’t ‘do things for families’ but ‘does things with families’. And she believes this huge but subtle difference to the way we work has allowed thousands of children in Westminster to fulfil their potential and live their dreams.The Role: As Centre Manager of the vibrant Tresham Centre for Children and Young People with Disabilities you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Working with children and their families as you set up and manage a wide range of activities including holiday and weekend play schemes, family fun days and trips out, you’ll take the lead on parenting groups and workshops, and help develop our early intervention offer. Managing and supervising our team leaders, and ensuring every member of staff at the centre gives the best possible care to the children and families we support, we’ll also expect you to link with the Bi-Borough Inclusion Officer to enhance the work we do.

    Committed to ensuring contract services meet quality assurance expectations, and all the relevant requirements such as Health & Safety, Ofsted regulations and CQC are adhered to, you’ll also manage day-to-day budgeting, including petty cash and banking. Working with our Management Group to provide a coordinated and seamless service, supporting a user’s group, and responding to any needs that arise, as an inspirational leader you’ll also provide motivating advice, guidance, mentoring and training to the Centre’s dedicated staff.

    The Tresham Centre is an amazing place where children can feel safe, supported and welcomed, and your enthusiasm and dedication will see it grow and flourish. And as a strong advocate for all the children and families you work with, you’ll be committed to ensuring they’re consulted about the services we offer, both at the centre and elsewhere in our borough. We’ll also expect you to provide the necessary facilities to enable a smooth transition for children into Adult Services, and take the lead on early intervention groups for families, including drop-ins and parenting workshops.

    Please refer to the Job Description for more information. About You: To be a success in this vital role you’ll have well developed experience of supervising, monitoring and setting targets for contract, sessional or frontline staff, and be an inspirational trainer, coach and mentor. Capable of managing budgets, resources and operational planning to deliver a service of the very highest quality, you should also be happy to work collaboratively with a wide range of professionals, agencies and partner organisations as you focus on supporting the children and families we work with.

    It goes without saying that you’ll have plenty of experience of involving parents, carers and children with additional needs and disabilities in planning activities and developing services – this could have been gained in settings such as childcare, early years, family support or day care services. Committed to building positive relationships with everyone you work with, you should also be capable of designing, setting up and delivering a range of parenting workshops, groups and activities to support families.

    A highly motivating leader and people manager with the skills to provide professional guidance, support and feedback to our staff and volunteers, your strong interpersonal and communication skills will see you working with empathy, patience and a high degree of professionalism. Flexible and ready to adapt to changing demands and priorities in a dynamic environment, we’ll also look for a Level 3 qualification or equivalent practical experience in childcare, youth work or social care, while a management qualification and additional training relating to children with disabilities or special educational needs would be desirable.

You’ll join the Town Planning team and support our commitment to achieving Net Zero by reducing Scope 3 emissions associated with construction projects. With the support of the Innovate UK fund and in collaboration with Preoptima, we’re currently rolling out our Planning Application Carbon Evaluation and Reduction (PACER) digital platform – this will transform the review of whole life carbon assessments in planning, creating a robust, standardised and transparent process which will upskill officers and collate valuable data for informing policy.

    It’ll be your responsibility to oversee the use and integration of this platform, ensuring consistency and accuracy of the review process, liaising with applicants and consultants to ensure its efficient use, and gathering feedback from our stakeholders with the aim of identifying challenges and improving the end-user experience. Supporting Policy Officers as they implement policy and guidance to achieve our Net Zero and Circular Economy aims will be another vital task, and we’ll also expect you to provide advice on whole life carbon requirements, and draft guidance and updates to environmental supplementary planning documents.

    But your work won’t stop here – you’ll also assist the Principle Sustainability Officer in reviewing major applications and applications involving substantial demolition, support the review of carbon options appraisals submitted in pre-redevelopment audits, and critically analyse Whole Life Carbon Assessments submitted for planning applications.

Some knowledge of planning processes would be desirable, as would experience of retrofitting existing buildings, carbon options appraisals, stakeholder engagement and undertaking research to record the impact of interventions.

    Capable of learning from experience, sharing your expertise with colleagues and upskilling the council, your superb communication abilities will see you interacting with a diverse range of stakeholders and presenting complex information clearly. This will include writing project plans, progress reports and policy recommendations, interpreting information from different sources and drawing sound conclusions. A critical and analytical thinker with good problem solving skills, you should also be able to plan your time effectively and deliver to tight deadlines.

    When it comes to qualifications we’ll look for a degree in a relevant field – for example in architecture, structural engineering, building services or environmental engineering, and a post-graduate qualification or chartership in a related area would be desirable. Highly motivated, your strong commitment to environmental sustainability and the net zero transition will mean you stay up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in the fields of whole life carbon, the circular economy and sustainability. In addition, you should also have good knowledge of the latest innovations being employed or developed in the construction industry to reduce carbon emissions.
