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. Please view the extraordinary story of Serena's Vision

The Role:


As City Promotions, Events and Filming Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to extraordinary stories told in and about our iconic city.

Westminster is one of the UK's busiest and most recognisable locations for event and filming activity.

Our busy City Promotions, Events and Filming team coordinates and facilitates all the third party organised events, filming and promotional activity in Westminster.

Joining this close-knit, dynamic and diverse team, you'll never have a dull moment.


We support a hugely diverse portfolio of activities - from community events through to high profile, nationally significant moments such as the King's recent Coronation.

We also support major sporting events and large-scale events of cultural importance - from the Chinese and Lunar New Year celebrations, through to Pride in London.

What's more, we're the busiest UK borough for on-street filming. This spans fashion shoots, TV commercials and music videos, as well as major TV dramas and feature films. Every day is different.


Engaging with people is the key to our work, so you'll enjoy the chance to work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, communities and residents.

Leading event and filming organisers through the planning process, you'll collaborate with colleagues in a range of Council services - from Parking and Highways, to Licensing and Environmental Health, through to Parks, Planning and Communications.

You'll make sure relevant permissions, licences and approvals are obtained, and you'll ensure that activities are planned to be delivered safely, with mínimal disruption to the community.

About You:


With experience of event management and/or location/street-based filming production, you understand the needs of industry and you're comfortable working in a fast paced environment, with a range of stakeholders.

Highly organised, you have the skills to develop and deliver multiple projects at the same time. You also demonstrate the flexibility to adapt to influences and situations outside of your control.

We'll expect you to bring a passion for events to the role, together with the ability to work occasional evenings and weekends.

A skilled builder of good working relationships, you're confident working with all kinds of people across an organisation. You also have the drive and can-do attitude to work on your own initiative.


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.
