    Default job background
    Description
    Innovation and Change in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. 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. A week later, he was enrolled on the British Film Institute film-making programme.

    As our Principal Policy Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to ensuring the wellbeing of residents, visitors, workers and businesses.

    More than that, you'll help to shape the future of the city by crafting and implementing policies and strategies to foster a Fairer Westminster.

    From research to analysis, advisory to proactive policy development, the work is varied and challenging. Your projects will have significant impact in the city and, in some instances, on a national scale.

    You will need to cultivate a broad network of contacts including government agencies, community organisations, industry associations, advocacy groups and academic institutions to inform policy development and provide useful insights, resources and perspectives.

    As the Principal Policy Officer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and implementing Westminster After Dark, the council's inaugural evening and night-time strategy.

    This will drive further policy development related to the evening and night-time environment as well as licensing policies, ranging from Street Trading and Markets to Alcohol and Sexual Entertainment Venues.

    Furthermore, you will collaborate closely with colleagues within Policy and across other departments to collectively assess the Council's policy approaches aligned with the Council's Fairer Westminster Priorities.

    You're likely to have a background in a political environment, where you will have been involved in policy or strategy development, ideally in local government regulatory issues.

    It's a high profile role that offers exposure to Cabinet Members, senior council officers and senior leaders within partner organisations, so you'll need exceptional powers of communication and persuasion, including highly developed presentation skills.

    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.

    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.

    We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve.

    We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best, that is the Westminster Way.

    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.

    The Council is a Disability Confident Employer.

    If you have declared a disability in your application , we guarantee an interview if you meet the essential criteria of the job.
