Thank you for applying for Director of Resident Experience with the Newham
Newham is an aspirational inner-city borough with great potential and a clear vision based on building wealth within the community. Proud to be one of the youngest and most diverse boroughs in the UK, 72% of our residents are from ethnically diverse communities, speaking over 220 languages. Home to the Olympic Park, the London Stadium and other iconic landmarks, we are the fastest growing authority in the country with a population set to rise to over 370,000 by 2023. The impact of the pandemic has been felt acutely by our residents and drawn stark attention to the inequalities that so many are experiencing. Population density, homes occupied by multiple generations of families, underlying health issues and poor air quality resulted in a dramatic acceleration of the infection rate across Newham. The long-term impact on our communities is not yet fully apparent but we know that many will need additional support from us as a Council.
Thank you very much for considering this role. We hope that you have found all of the information and insight you need in the candidate information pack and we hope to see you soon. If you have any problems with the application process please don’t hesitate to contact the team.
