Housing Dynamics Developer WCC623650

As a Housing Dynamics Developer, you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster's success. Working within the Housing Digital team, you'll design, develop and maintain digital solutions that support key housing services - from tenancy and repairs to homelessness and compliance - while using platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and other SaaS solutions.

You'll be hands-on in building and customising systems, extending Dynamics 365 through plugins, workflows and integrations using C#/.NET and the Dynamics SDK. From creating user-friendly interfaces with JavaScript and web resources to developing APIs and managing SQL-based applications, you'll ensure systems are aligned with service needs. You'll also support SharePoint integration for document management, helping ensure information is accessible and secure within housing workflows.

Integration and automation will be a big part of your role. You'll work with tools like Azure API Management and Logic Apps to connect systems and streamline data flows across platforms. You'll also explore and implement AI-powered capabilities - including tools like Copilot and Power Platform AI Builder - helping automate processes and improve user experience across housing services.

Working closely with data platforms such as Snowflake, SQL Server and Azure Data Factory, you'll support data integrity, migration and transformation - moving towards more data-driven decision-making. To add to that, collaborating with others will be central to what you do. You'll partner with housing service leads, analysts and digital colleagues to understand challenges and translate them into practical technical solutions. You'll also build strong relationships across the council, acting as a trusted advisor on Dynamics and housing systems, and helping teams understand how technology can improve outcomes.

Contributing to an agile, continuously improving environment - you'll take part in ceremonies, supporting iterative delivery and helping shape how the team works. Whether you're developing prototypes, producing documentation or refining solutions, you'll play an active role in delivering high-quality, user-focused services.

Alongside your day-to-day work, you'll contribute to the wider product community, sharing best practices and helping shape the council's digital culture. This is a role where your technical decisions will have a real-world impact - giving you the opportunity to build meaningful solutions that improve the lives of thousands of residents. You'll be working with modern tools and good engineering practices in a supportive team culture where you're trusted, encouraged to grow, and given the space to make a genuine difference.

You'll bring significant experience working with housing management systems or CRM platforms, bringing a strong understanding of housing services and user needs with you. Comfortable in agile, multidisciplinary teams, you'll have a solid, applied understanding of agile principles and won't hesitate before adapting them to suit different contexts and levels of team maturity.

You'll have experience leading software development, setting technical direction and contributing to product strategy and service design. That translated to confidence in establishing and maintaining development and service standards, ensuring systems are robust, secure and supportable. You've worked across a mix of delivery approaches - from self-built to low-code and outsourced solutions - and know how to apply the right one in different situations.

A hands-on approach to modern engineering practices is key. You'll be familiar with DevOps culture, continuous integration and deployment, automated testing and test-driven development, and comfortable working with APIs and microservices architectures. You're able to manage dependencies and collaborate across teams to keep delivery moving.

You'll also bring strong technical capability, with experience using tools such as SQL, Python, Power BI, Azure Data Factory, JIRA and GitHub. At the same time, you'll be able to balance user, organisational and technical needs, shaping solutions that are effective, sustainable and user-centred - including services that are inclusive and accessible.

Strong communication and leadership skills will also be important. That means you're able to guide and support others while enabling teams to take ownership, and you're confident in influencing, engaging and negotiating with stakeholders at all levels.

Bring a good understanding of the local government context - including the legal, financial and political factors - and you'll be able to shape service delivery and statutory responsibilities with ease. A digital mindset comes naturally to you, with a focus on using technology to improve outcomes and support inclusive, accessible services.

Adaptable, accountable and focused on continuous improvement, you'll be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, managing competing priorities and helping to evolve services to better meet the needs of both residents and colleagues.

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Housing and Commercial Partnerships in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people use their vision and commitment to open doors for the next generations. Nothing beats the feeling of helping someone find their passion. At Westminster City Council, our City Lions team helps young local people engage with culture, creativity and dreams. When they came across a lonely, isolated 16-year-old who called himself a failure, they knew what to do. They worked 1-2-1 to find the thing this boy really loved. YouTube, it turned out. But it's impossible to turn that into a career, right? Wrong. A week later, he was enrolled on the British Film Institute film-making programme. It was the ultimate light-bulb moment. And it turned him into what he is today - a budding Spielberg with a world of opportunity at his feet., Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace.
