About Us

Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated and compassionate professionals bring everything to their work.

Take Kate, an absolute wizard at managing housing asset data for our annual £50m capital programme. Kate's an inspiration to her team. Now a senior manager, she first joined as a college leaver in finance. Through Westminster's encouragement, as well as her own hard work and determination, she's gained professional qualifications and taken on a series of increasingly stretching roles.

Today, we depend on Kate's analytical powers to keep track of the condition of over 21,000 of our tenanted and leasehold homes - from roofs and windows to kitchens and bathrooms. Kate's committed to achieving the Decent Homes Standard for all our tenants and a high standard for all our leaseholders. Her passion is numbers but, because she grew up in social housing, she also understands the human stories behind the data.

More than that she understands the disruption renewal work entails. So when an elderly resident's family mentioned that their mother needed not just a new kitchen, but adaptations to her bathroom, Kate got right on to it. She co ordinated with colleagues to assess the resident's disability needs.

Kate's worked hard to ensure our routine external and internal stock condition surveys pick up on repairs and health & safety issues at the same time. And, by recognising patterns in the data that's gathered, she makes a vital contribution to forward planning for large scale capital renewal works.

The Role

As a Building Safety Administrator, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Working at the heart of a team dedicated to keeping residents living in high rise buildings safe, you'll maintain, organise, and update building safety documentation to support building safety cases.

This role offers a strong combination of purpose, responsibility, development and variety. Acting as a source of administrative support to the Building Safety Team, you'll be responsible for everything from managing inboxes and providing prompt and accurate responses, to recording meeting minutes.

Where required, you'll schedule inspections, prepare reports and support on resident engagement initiatives. Taking an approachable, community first approach to everything you do, you'll help facilitate open channels of communication between residents and the Building Safety Team.

An established professional with strong administrative and compliance experience - including document control, records management and scheduling - you'll have some knowledge of understanding risk assessments. Having prepared meeting minutes and updated and maintained computer databases in a previous role, ideally within a property or housing setting, you'll be confident interpreting technical information.

A true team player with excellent communication, organisation and time management skills, you'll bring strong attention to detail to everything you do. When issues arise, you'll proactively follow up them, using your problem solving skills to achieve effective resolutions.

On a personal level, you'll be passionate about ensuring Westminster's residents can count on safe, secure housing. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant, dynamic team dedicated to putting people first, and to supercharge your career in the process.

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.
