THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Innovation and Change 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. The Role: 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. Focusing on areas such as Licensing, Place and Infrastructure, you will collaborate closely with a diverse array of partners and stakeholders to ensure all voices are heard and consensus on key issues is reached wherever possible. 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. We'll look to you to achieve the delicate balance between protective measures for the public and the need to progress and address new challenges in innovative ways. 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. About You: 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. You'll bring considerable skills in engagement and negotiation and will be used to fostering partnerships and productive working relationships. This is a fast-paced environment and you will typically carry a large caseload, so energy and good organisation will be important to your success. 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. You'll also have good intellectual abilities and will be quick to grasp and process new information. 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 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. 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. At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Innovation and Change 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. The Role: 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. Focusing on areas such as Licensing, Place and Infrastructure, you will collaborate closely with a diverse array of partners and stakeholders to ensure all voices are heard and consensus on key issues is reached wherever possible. 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. We'll look to you to achieve the delicate balance between protective measures for the public and the need to progress and address new challenges in innovative ways. 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. About You: 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. You'll bring considerable skills in engagement and negotiation and will be used to fostering partnerships and productive working relationships. This is a fast-paced environment and you will typically carry a large caseload, so energy and good organisation will be important to your success. 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. You'll also have good intellectual abilities and will be quick to grasp and process new information. 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 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. 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. At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. 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.

The work of the directorate's teams includes delivery of major events; designing and leading public affairs and marketing campaigns; providing data, evidence and analysis; leading cross-organisational programmes; and making sure we plan for, and can respond to, emerging events and emergencies in our city. About the team This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative and committed team that is responsible for supporting the Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience in their oversight of London Fire Brigade (LFB); and for coordinating and contributing to policies that relate to the safety of Londoners. You will have the opportunity to develop relationships across the GLA and LFB. You will also develop an insight into the operations of one of the world's busiest fire services; and explore how these operations intersect with other parts of the GLA.

LFB is in the process of responding to the recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, and inspections from His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services; and making improvements to its culture.

A background in fire policy is not necessary for this role, due to its cross-cutting nature. We are recruiting for two roles with the same job description, but different responsibilities. One is focused on supporting the Deputy Mayor's decision making; and the other will lead on performance and assurance monitoring. If you have a preference for one of these roles please indicate this in your statement. We are looking for people with excellent analytical skills and an ability to provide impartial advice. Just as important, however, is your ability to think creatively to develop shared solutions to problems, and to influence policy development in a political environment. What your day will look like Providing advice to the Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience, and other senior stakeholders, on matters relating to fire and LFB. Preparing clear and concise reports, presentations and briefings on complex and sensitive issues for different audiences.

Managing a programme of performance monitoring and assurance against LFB's transformation and business as usual, using performance data; formal and informal meetings with senior LFB and external officers; and LFB reporting. Skills, knowledge and experience A successful track record, in a high-profile organisation, of influencing and shaping policy and ensuring its implementation - although not necessarily in fire and rescue.

Experience of accountancy and/or financial and statistical analysis, and performance management. A successful track record of providing high-quality, impartial advice in a sensitive political environment, at a senior level.

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.

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. The Role: As a 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 supporting the development of policies and strategies aimed at fostering a Fairer Westminster.

Your collaborative mind-set means you can work effectively with fellow policy practitioners both inside and outside the organisation You'll also have experience of delivering projects.
