Work location:
Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP
The Role: As a Performance Officer you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Joining our Public Protection and Licensing Directorate’s Performance and Coordination team, you’ll support the delivery of services by ensuring the relevant framework is effectively implemented, and work to promote a culture of performance management and continuous improvement. Organising the collation of reports that showcase the activities undertaken across the Directorate, you’ll develop, deliver and monitor our communication plans and strategy, and help to inform decision making by working on a diverse range of data and information.
Responsible for reporting to senior colleagues on the allocation of resources, and ensuring the team responds efficiently to all calls for service and requests, you’ll develop and maintain the analytical tools we need and identify areas for consistency across the services we provide. We’ll also expect you to offer analysis of multiple data sources and deliver high-quality performance reports and dashboards to inform decision making.
You’ll have a number of additional responsibilities – these include coordinating specific projects and initiatives, managing the delivery of communications that promote our work, and delivering ad-hoc analysis to inform strategy, prioritise initiatives and identify high risk areas within the borough. You’ll also use Business Intelligence tools to produce management information drawn from a variety of internal corporate systems, and create reports that provide actionable information for our senior leadership team and other key stakeholders.
With well developed experience of managing processes within a public sector organisation, you’ll be capable of applying analytical concepts and techniques to deliver workable solutions to problems, interpreting the findings and drawing appropriate conclusions from the evidence. Skilled at communicating to different audiences and stakeholders, and of working in partnership across services, you’ll have the ability to collect, collate and report on a diverse range of data and information.
You should be an excellent project developer with superb written and verbal communication skills, and be capable of using a variety of formats including reports, briefings, tables, graphs and presentations. It’s important that you can coordinate governance processes and understand the principles and requirements of data protection, and in addition to being ready to work with a diverse range of stakeholders, you’ll be well organised and adept at working under pressure to tight deadlines.
A highly effective problem solver and skilled at providing high level data analysis, we’ll expect you to possess excellent working knowledge of Microsoft desktop applications including Excel, Word, PowerPoint and SharePoint. Proficiency in data analysis tools and working knowledge of Geographic Information Systems and Power BI would be an advantage, as would a willingness to learn how to use new database systems.
