We do this by working with and holding developers or land owners to the high standards in our bold Local Plan and the London Plan. The newly established Development Delivery team is building on the aspirations of our residents and members. We want to ensure our residents can benefit from genuinely affordable homes, have access to beautiful and truly accessible public spaces, can secure the new jobs being created in a range of industries, and have access to the social infrastructure for everyone to thrive. Our strategic sites will create new communities that must truly connect with their neighbours. The Development Delivery team want to forge more productive relationships with stakeholders to help with the delivery of development alongside adequate infrastructure. Our borough is growing and so is our team. About the Job This is a leadership role in our newly established Development Delivery team – leading on infrastructure planning with a team of two officers reporting to you. We are a growing and ambitious borough. We want the best for our residents. Our team need to ensure that where development is happening there is commensurate infrastructure and council services. This role will have autonomy to establish our approach to infrastructure planning, there are pockets of amazing practice and relationships between the planning service, the wider council, the third sector and infrastructure providers – but this role will bring all of those threads together. You will be supported by a committed senior manager to help you achieve yours and the wider council vision of success. This is a new team – so you can make your mark as a leader at Newham. The team will take over the updates to the infrastructure delivery plan and establish a network of connections internally and with external infrastructure providers to more acutely understand their business plans and investment decisions; the team will also lead on the establishment of an updated CIL infrastructure list and work with colleagues in finance to start to establish a process for prioritising infrastructure (to inform part of our ongoing iterative local plan evidence base and a material planning consideration of infrastructure sufficiency). You will be able to support the progression and adoption of the local plan at any future examination in public as an expert witness on infrastructure planning; or equivalent settings. Building relationships with developers and infrastructure providers to facilitate and unlock sites may also become part of this team’s function as things evolve during the year and beyond. Supporting development management with infrastructure sufficiency and prioritisation judgements will also follow. The Principal Aviation Officer role will report to this post and will remain committed to the monitoring of compliance with the airport’s extant planning permission and will support the (new) Senior Infrastructure Planner and team leader to assimilate to Newham’s approach to infrastructure. The team leader will collaborate with colleagues in planning policy and the two developer contributions teams to establish a work programme – transferring tasks previously undertaken by other officers and establishing other tasks that we have not had capacity to resource. About You Do you want to create and shape a new team? If you do, please read on. You are a passionate and informed advocate for the council in relation to your infrastructure planning expertise as an MRTPI or MRICS planner or working towards membership of these institutions. Or you may have a project management qualification and skills that you have honed in your previous work experience. You are a leader or showing your leadership qualities in your current role and are keen to collaborate with a team of colleagues to shape their professional development and facilitate their learning. You will be keen to learn and develop too. You will be confident in your own abilities but not afraid to be honest if something does not go to plan. You will foster an atmosphere of shared accountability with your team, the wider service and other stakeholders. You will be confident in preparing and presenting reports to a range of audiences to inform, influence or engage on planning obligations, planning policy and site specific considerations. You will be ready to direct but also get involved with tasks alongside your svelte but mighty team. Bringing together and co-ordinating actions happening across the council you will be the anchor to initially steady this ship; you will then be the captain that gets our infrastructure planning team moving in the right direction. You will already be a part of or quickly become familiar with a range of pan-London infrastructure planning thematic groups and in negotiation with planning policy you will become the borough’s representative for these forums. Soon you will be leading or hosting these forums. You will have experience of or feel comfortable in being the face for your team but also allowing chances for your team to shine too – in conversations with residents, members, senior leaders, developers, land owners, and infrastructure providers. As a non-negotiable you will be committed to the achievement of equality, diversity and inclusion in both employment and service delivery. https://www.newham.gov.uk/downloads/file/7557/infrastructure-planning-team-leader-jd-3827- Additional Information Closing date: 22/01/2025 Interview dates: 6th February comprising a test/assessment and an interview with a panel.

Our borough is growing and so is our team. About the Job Our ambition as a team is to align infrastructure delivery and council services to the growth and development across the borough. The development industry is active in Newham so this is a busy part of the service with commitment and enthusiasm to enable high quality development. We are looking for a colleague at a senior level to robustly scrutinise submissions and applications made to us. Your application must demonstrate the experience you have to perform the tasks and accountabilities at grade PO6. In relation to financial matters the team collect, allocate and reconcile income; the team also assess and act as gatekeepers of the governance process to release monies for expenditure. Quarterly reporting to TfL and the council’s capital and assets oversight board is required and annual statutory reporting is supported by a report to members of the strategic development committee. This role will require collaboration with the wider team – sharing your knowledge and experience to enhance all team member’s approaches, but you will maintain a range of developments and casework commensurate with this grade – i.e. the most complicated developments making transformational changes in east London. These challenges will be fun and you will maintain professional working relationships with developers, agents, architects and other professional stakeholders all with a common goal to deliver development in Newham. In the short-term we will be collaborating with our colleagues at the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) to continue their good work with developers in and around the Olympic Park; maintaining and enhancing the working relationships we have with developers across the borough and meaningfully engaging with our colleagues across the council to facilitate positive planning outcomes to benefit our residents.

We will be working hard to improve the way we work, enhance transparency and find new ways to engage with residents and businesses on the social value that development is bringing to the borough; we’re on the verge of making transformational change to how we do things and would value the experience new appointments would bring from other work settings. Operationally the team is responsible for the financial and non-financial matters associated with compliance with deeds of planning obligation. This involves casework for assessing and making judgments of submissions on a range of planning related themes from sustainable and active transport, socio-economic development, public transport, financial viability, affordable housing and other matters. For CIL You will report to a team leader alongside five other colleagues – together you are the developer contributions (CIL) team. We are building and maintaining a reputation for robustly scrutinising the CIL regulations and holding the development industry to the highest standards; whilst also supporting developers with getting on site by promptly processing claims for relief and exemptions; and we like to innovate with an internal culture of co-designing service improvements. This team is primarily responsible for the collection of and accounting for monies – the developments in Newham span super-major developments phased to deliver over 15-20 years and schemes which gain consent and want to be on site within weeks or days of planning permission. This post will help to streamline our processes and work with some of our more technically challenging casework; including collaborating with planning policy, development management, infrastructure planning, resident engagement and other colleagues to help facilitate development. About You You are a passionate and informed advocate for the council in relation to this area of expertise as an MRTPI or MRICS planner or working towards membership of these institutions. You will be keen to learn and develop; including by mentoring other members of the team. You will be confident in your own abilities but not afraid to be honest if something does not go to plan. You will be confident in preparing and presenting reports on complex matters to a range of audiences to clearly inform, influence or engage on planning obligations, planning policy and site specific considerations. You have a deep and through understanding of statue, case law and appeal decisions that you can apply to your advice to stakeholders, in your delegated reports and to shape our ways of working. You will have experience of or feel comfortable in representing complex planning obligations and/or CIL matters in conversations with residents, members, senior leaders, developers, land owners, and infrastructure providers. You will be financially astute and have a keen eye for detail to safeguard income and expenditure of public funding in line with the internal controls you and the team will update and enforce.

ABOUT THE JOB Social Work in Newham is underpinned by a culture of Systemic and Restorative practice with high quality relationships at the heart of our approach.

You have to be passionate, trustworthy, and empathetic; with a genuine love and passion for helping children and their families, and being that advocate for them.

ABOUT THE JOB The Family Support and Safeguarding service enhances the family led, relational values that were already at the centre of our practice and will continue the evolution of our firmly embedded Circles of Support practice model. We’re keeping children at the heart of everything we do whilst improving the overall experience of the families, partners, and social workers in our sphere. We want to be at the forefront of evoking positive change in the sector and we’re looking for experienced, committed, relational social workers to join us and help us get there. Above all, we want to do the best for Newham’s children and families. The FSS service consists of four services and sixteen teams, supporting families from first point of contact and assessment and throughout any subsequent longer term intervention (e.g. referral to partners, CP, CiN) until the best, safest outcome is for the child is attained. Two of these teams will work exclusively with children and families whose lives are influenced by disability or SEND to ensure that we retain the expertise necessary to support these families. Where proceedings are necessary court work is moved on to our Children in Care service. Social workers in the FSS service are caseholding and will be on duty 1 week in 16; we hope this will be a welcome change for social workers who are used to busy assessment services, and a positive CPD opportunity for practitioners whose experience is mainly in longer term work. ABOUT YOU We are looking to work with qualified, SWE registered social workers who have experience beyond their ASYE year in either assessment or long term work with children and families. We’re looking for conscientious, considerate and empathetic social workers who are committed to working relationally with families whilst putting every child’s welfare, potential, and future at the heart of their work.
