About Us:
THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF KATE'S PASSION FOR NUMBERS AND PEOPLE.
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 GBP 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 and 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 Transaction Data Management Officer you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster's success as you help find temporary homes for those people with the greatest need in our communities. Using Excel, Power BI, Orchard, Swordfish and other platforms to maintain and update our real estate acquisition deal pipeline, you'll produce weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual forecast reports for key stakeholders on the supply of temporary accommodation property. These will include the status of deal pipelines, ongoing due diligence processes, void work timelines and expected delivery dates. You'll also develop interactive dashboards to track affordable housing projects and temporary accommodation processes, and use our platforms to optimise data and workflows.
Proving support to the Temporary Accommodation team will be a key task, and see you working across all stages of affordable housing projects, including acquisition, development and void works. Engaging in data gathering, analysis and reporting for temporary accommodation, we'll also expect you to offer high quality administrative and logistical support to ensure the efficiency and success of our work.
You'll have a wide range of additional responsibilities : these include liaising with the vendors and sellers of properties, and coordinating with estate agents, valuers, solicitors, consultants, contractors and other professionals. Preparing internal approval requests for housing acquisitions and using our management systems to produce updates and reports, you'll also be responsible for integrating newly acquired properties into the temporary accommodation property portfolio, and resolving any issues related to acquisitions, void works, development projects or data discrepancies.
