West Lindsey District Council has two very clear priorities, to enable and facilitate the growth of a strong local economy and to build stronger, more resilient communities. We have established a very clear strategic framework to assist with the achievement of our priorities, including an outcomes framework that seeks to galvanise a whole organisation and whole system approach to the growth and sustainability of our place. We are now seeking an Assistant Director Planning and Regeneration to join our senior leadership team and to support us to deliver our priorities.

This is an exciting time for us, and this role is instrumental to us achieving our vision - a strong focus on an “enabling” planning approach and determination to deliver sustainable and inclusive growth to enhance the wellbeing of the district.

We have an ambitious programme of investment and are seeking an ambitious planning, economic development or development surveying professional with a track record of enabling development, growth and place making.
