About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE POWER OF LISTENING

Housing and Commercial Partnerships in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where little things can have a huge impact on people’s lives.

Take Mitin, our Head of Estates Services. Mitin’s team is responsible for cleaning, gardening and bulk refuse removal across several housing estates where many of our residents require a greater degree of assistance. It’s not just about keeping our blocks and estates shipshape, it’s about human contact and letting residents know that we care.

Mitin’s team contribute to our Smart City commitment and make full use of new technology to help track and solve problems such as fly tipping and graffiti. But what many residents value most is his ability to listen. For example, when residents were telling him about carrying out gardening improvements and the positive impact that it has on their wellbeing, he and his team engaged with residents, working closely with them to give them garden areas they could be proud of and a vibrant community.

Mitin is immensely proud of the relationships he’s built with residents, not only because it helps them feel proud of where they live in a greener and cleaner city, but because it makes him proud of where he works.

The Role:

As Asset Data and Systems Administrator, you too can make a powerful contribution. You’ll be ensuring that the Directorate’s decisions, investments and services are underpinned by accurate, high-quality data and reliable systems. You’ll be joining the Housing Directorate, which delivers essential services to residents across the City, managing a diverse portfolio of over 21,000 homes.

You’ll improve the quality of our asset and compliance data and support the development of our housing IT systems. You’ll also ensure performance information is accurate and useful to the service, and that it is clearly communicated. Across the Directorate, you’ll support user training, deliver technical guidance, help troubleshoot data or system issues. Working collaboratively with colleagues at all levels, you’ll influence decisions, challenge assumptions and help ensure our data practices are secure and GDPR‑compliant. Overall, you’ll support better decision-making, smooth delivery and consistent standards.

You’ll deliver our Asset Data Strategy, which will use insight from across the Directorate to drive a joined‑up approach to data management and future investment planning. We’d also appreciate your input in wider policies and strategies.

You’ll act as the first point of contact for system and data queries, ensuring our housing data systems and modules run efficiently, effectively, and are easy for staff to use. Through discussions with others, you’ll identify opportunities for digital innovation and data-led solutions. We’d also like your support for benchmarking exercises to compare performance and data quality with peers and national standards.

We’re a dynamic, forward-thinking place to work. You’ll be encouraged to develop, grow and be valued for your contribution.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information. 

About You:

We’re looking for someone who can confidently extract data and then present the information to a range of people, including non-specialists and members of the public. You’ll have written complex reports that draw on multiple data sources – but with information presented in a straightforward way, ready to be used for business decisions. In other words, you’re a strong communicator with excellent data analysis and interpretation skills.

A proven problem-solver, you’ve co-developed and implemented solutions with stakeholders, including ones that aren’t in your immediate area of responsibility.

You’ll bring a clear demonstrable knowledge of data quality standards and effective data management practices. You’re familiar with data governance, security, and audit standards including GDPR, ICT security, and audit requirements. You can use data visualisation tools, Excel, databases or housing-related systems. An understanding of relevant health and safety and housing legislation is also useful.

To do well here, you’ll rely on strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to meet competing deadlines. You’ve delivered excellent customer service in a fast-paced environment before.

Due to the nature of our work, you’ll be able to maintain confidentiality, sensitivity and professionalism when handling personal or politically sensitive data.

We’re interested to see any relevant qualifications. Equivalent professional experience in data, systems or business analysis also works for us.
