Waltham Forest is growing faster than any other borough in London and has recently been announced as the London Borough of Culture 2019. The Borough aims to build 12,000 new homes by 2020, creating great places to live and supporting the vibrant local economy. One of the main ways the Council aims to meet this target is through the Council’s new wholly owned development company.
With the increasing pressure to deliver a large number of good quality new homes, the Housing Development Team is growing fast. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated individual to help coordinate the ambitious work of the Housing Development Team, in particular, the Council’s new wholly owned housing company Sixty Bricks Ltd. You will provide fundamental project support to the team’s project managers and business administration support to the wider Development Team and Sixty Bricks Ltd. We are looking for a candidate who has a good understanding of Microsoft Office systems and, ideally, is confident in using social media. We are looking for someone who is an excellent team player with a flexible and adaptable approach, working with minimum supervision.

Equal Opportunities
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both, service delivery and employment of its staff. 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
