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 and 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.

Housing is central to our future plans and our priority is to ensure everyone
has a decent roof over their head. Now is an exciting time to join our Housing
Services department as we seek to rebuild from the pandemic and take advantage
of further opportunities to grow and innovate. We are looking for the right
people with the initiative and commitment to make our ambitious plans a reality!
