  • Some local authority experience is very desirable;
  • You should hold a degree and/or Masters in Planning related studies;
  • Full membership of the RTPI (or RICS P&D), or the ability to become chartered very soon, is essential;
  • You must hold a full UK driving licence (the successful candidate will receive a generous company car or car allowance)

 

In return, you will receive a competitive basic salary commensurate with the duties of the role (guide is £40k - £55k depending on experience), plus a high value company car or car allowance, private healthcare, life assurance, generous contributory pension scheme, excellent bonuses, house purchase discounts and a flexible benefits package including discounted gym memberships, cycle to work scheme and much more.
