Job Details

Whether you are looking to strengthen the foundations of your career or wish to build on your existing experience, we have an exciting job opportunity for you. This role will be challenging, but in return you will have an opportunity to work for an innovative, top performing Council, within a highly supportive and friendly environment with opportunities to progress in your career.

We will empower you to achieve the best for the District and for yourself, in an organisation to be proud of. We can offer a considerable variety of work to ensure your days are always different and rewarding. Wherever you are in your career, you will be managing your own caseload, dealing with a wide range of applications and pre-application enquiries and working with our planning enforcement team. Our draft local plan will shortly have a final consultation. This allows for new housing at higher densities with the proposal for some exceptional circumstances sites in the Green Belt, which will lead to some interesting cases to work with.

Our District is unique and special. Our Councillors and residents have high expectations and so do we. Sevenoaks is more than 90% Green Belt. We have world class tourist attractions, including Hever and Chartwell (Winston Churchill’s home) to name just two. We’re one of the safest places in the country with good schools and an excellent quality of life. Yet we’re just half an hour from central London by train.

We offer a competitive salary with benefits. We are the first local authority to be awarded the Investor in People Platinum standard and we are a financially self-sufficient council.
