Bursting with culture, innovation, energy and opportunity, Waltham Forest is a place people want to live, raise a family, start a business and work. The pandemic has meant that delivering fantastic local services are more important now than ever, over this past year we have risen to new challenges through the adoption of new ways of working and innovation in service delivery, enabling us to continue to make a difference for our residents. Public service has been at the heart of our response to Covid-19 and our new strategy sets out how we will continue to change our ways of working to become a more modern, efficient and responsive organisation, and we want to build on the success of recent years.

Housing is central to our future plans and our priority is to ensure everyone has a decent roof over their head. We have a close working relationship with our housing association partners through our innovative Housing Compact. We are looking for a Partnership Officer who will work closely with stakeholders to develop and deliver projects prioritised by the partnership that will ensure the delivery of high quality services to residents. This is a role that will appeal to those who enjoy seeking solutions, work well in partnership and have good project management skills.
