About Us:
THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF TIFFENY'S POWERFUL VOICE
At Westminster City Council, we don't just listen to the voices and experiences of our residents : we listen to our people too. Tiffeny is a single mum whose young son has ADHD and before joining our team, she never thought she'd find a job that gave her flexibility and freedom to support her son's needs. As a neurodivergent woman herself, she also never expected to be part of a team that not only supports her needs, but actively celebrates them : where people encourage her to be her true self. And that's what she found here at the City of Westminster.
Working as an Engagement Officer Within the corporate property team means that she gets to meet people from all walks of life within the community supporting the development of positive change, especially being the voice for young people where it matters : in education, training, or employment. Her experiences and her amazing ability to relate to others means that within the first few months of joining our team, she'd already made a huge impact on things like accessibility in the Borough. Tiffeny feels heard and that's because we know how important it is to listen.
The Role:
As a Senior Delivery Manager you can make your own powerful contribution by helping our major capital projects run smoothly. Keep them on time, on budget and of the quality we aspire to : and you'll transform life within our communities.
The Corporate Property team's project portfolio include both new builds and refurbishments. From libraries to leisure centres, they're central to the Council's aims.
We'll expect you to work across their lifecycle: expertly manage budgets upward of GBP 25m, mitigating the risks, and collaborating closely with Procurement, Legal, contractors and other partners and stakeholders to keep everything on track.
