Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz OBE, who grew up and has live her whole life in Newham, has been the Labour Directly Elected Mayor since 2018.She is focused on delivering her Building a Fairer Newham agenda through the council’s own work and in collaboration with communities and partners within and beyond the borough, and ensuring a culture of good governance, transparency and accountability in all we do.
The Mayor’s Office provides strategic advice and administrative support to the Mayor and her Cabinet. Helping to facilitate effective working between the political and officer leadership, it operates as a lynchpin in the heart of the council, playing a key role in supporting the shaping of strategy and policy, the oversight and assurance of delivery, and the maintenance of strong relationships with residents and partners. Following a restructuring, we are now seeking to recruit three officers to provide the leadership to the Office to help the Mayor and council to deliver on her ambitions and make a tangible difference to the people and communities of this wonderful borough. Strong candidates will demonstrate a sensitivity to Newham’s diverse local context and ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving and intense political environment.
