Daphne has an innate ability to see the human behind every situation, helping them capitalise on strengths and overcome challenges to be their very best. With her empathy and expertise, she’s a natural. But then, a lifetime of managing her own dyslexia and dyspraxia brings with it unique insight.

From managing elected officials' diaries and supporting the Council’s governance process to administering the ward budget programme, you’ll respond to all sorts of important challenges as you enable our key decision-makers to perform their roles smoothly and effectively. This vital work will help to deliver our Fairer Westminster strategy and support Cabinet Members as they make the decisions that affect the lives of people and communities in Westminster. Working closely with politicians, your day-to-day tasks will be varied and could include arranging a complex cross-Council meeting with various stakeholders, commissioning a briefing note for a Cabinet Member on a pressing strategic priority, or supporting applicants through the ward budget application process. You’ll also take a lead role in supporting a broad portfolio of casework, working with everyone in the council from junior officers to our most senior stakeholders. Maintaining oversight of complaints and casework, you’ll also work in partnership with relevant service areas to resolve issues and conduct investigations into the specifics of each challenge, while ensuring our residents have the best possible experience when they interact with the Council. Working in a team with great links across the Council, this role is a great opportunity for someone who has strong organisational skills, is enthusiastic about local government and is interested in learning more about the inner workings of a Council.

Comfortable when it comes to handling financial administration, including processing payment requests, you’ll be highly collaborative and personable with a flair for building good relationships with everyone you work with. You should also be aware of the key challenges facing local government, and confident in your ability to communicate tactfully and diplomatically. Whilst you’ll be happy to work with limited supervision, you’ll also know when to ask your team for help and when to seek advice from colleagues.

The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives: - Promoting equality of opportunity - Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage - Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels. - Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent Services to all. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value. To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council is operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme. For more information, please refer to our recruitment and selection policy. We are keen to support employees to balance their working life with other commitments. Therefore, wherever possible, we will consider working arrangements that suit an individual's personal circumstances whilst still meeting the needs of the Council.
