From managing elected officials' diaries and supporting the Council’s governance process to administering the ward budget programme, you’ll respond to all sorts of important challenges as you enable our key decision-makers to perform their roles smoothly and effectively. This vital work will help to deliver our Fairer Westminster strategy and support Cabinet Members as they make the decisions that affect the lives of people and communities in Westminster. Working closely with politicians, your day-to-day tasks will be varied and could include arranging a complex cross-Council meeting with various stakeholders, commissioning a briefing note for a Cabinet Member on a pressing strategic priority, or supporting applicants through the ward budget application process. You’ll also take a lead role in supporting a broad portfolio of casework, working with everyone in the council from junior officers to our most senior stakeholders. Maintaining oversight of complaints and casework, you’ll also work in partnership with relevant service areas to resolve issues and conduct investigations into the specifics of each challenge, while ensuring our residents have the best possible experience when they interact with the Council. Working in a team with great links across the Council, this role is a great opportunity for someone who has strong organisational skills, is enthusiastic about local government and is interested in learning more about the inner workings of a Council.

It goes without saying that you’ll have brilliant organisational skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, politically driven environment, and more than that, you’ll be ready to quickly get to grips with large and complex amounts of information while balancing several workstreams at the same time. Comfortable when it comes to handling financial administration, including processing payment requests, you’ll be highly collaborative and personable with a flair for building good relationships with everyone you work with. You should also be aware of the key challenges facing local government, and confident in your ability to communicate tactfully and diplomatically. Whilst you’ll be happy to work with limited supervision, you’ll also know when to ask your team for help and when to seek advice from colleagues. Above all, you’ll be interested in the work we do and willing to get stuck in.
