Message from the Chief Executive

Thank you for your interest in working with Westminster City Council.

Our city is an international centre for tourism, retail and culture. It’s the home of the UK parliament and the monarchy. And it’s also home to 240,000 residents.

It is our job to meet and exceed the needs of different groups of people within our communities. Building a Living City is our way of making a visible difference to the lives of all the people we serve – by supporting them with responsive services, leading the renewal of the city and encouraging a sense of responsibility.

Living City is a series of projects that will gradually build the best city in which to live and work, and we hope that you will become a part of making this happen.

Westminster City Council is a unique and fast paced environment and our staff are at the centre of our success.

By 2012 we want our customers to say that we deliver an excellent service. To achieve this goal, all staff within the organisation are expected to meet the Westminster Standard of excellent customer service. This means that:

• we deal with things without being told
• we make it easy
• we don’t need to be asked twice
• our customers make us better
• we take responsibility
• we serve others as we wish to be served. 

At the council, you will have professional challenges and opportunities put to you on a scale you've never experienced before.

Whatever your background, if you have the drive and determination to succeed, we will provide you with opportunities to build your career in award winning teams and make a real difference to the people of Westminster.

If you think you are up for the challenge, we hope you choose to join us as we lead London into the Olympics and prepare to welcome the world to the UK.
