We are looking for two highly motivated and energetic Development Management Officers to join our vibrant planning team. These roles will involve dealing with an interesting and varied caseload of planning applications, including Householders, Prior Notifications, Advertisement Consents, Listed Building Consents, as well as small scale infill developments and other minor development proposals.

These posts will be ideal for motivated and keen planning graduates looking for that first job, or somebody who have worked as a development management case officer in a local authority planning department or similar regulatory environment, or at an equivalent level in a private practice.  We will consider applicants wishing to work part time. You will be exposed to a culture of learning, sharing knowledge, and you will be surrounded by friendly and approachable specialists, admin staff, planners and planning team leaders.

You need to have good fundamental and technical knowledge and understanding of relevant planning legislation. You will need to have excellent communication and negotiation skills as you will be working in a team environment, as well as dealing with other professionals. We are looking for someone with a positive can-do attitude. You will also need to demonstrate that you have good problem solving skills, can write comprehensive planning reports, as well as detailed letters in response to pre-application enquiries. The ideal candidate will also have good organisational skills so as to work to tight deadlines whilst keeping planning records up to date.  More information below about the wider Planning Department.

Above all it is essential that you demonstrate behaviours in line with our values and a passion and a commitment to continually seek to innovate and develop our workforce, which will in turn enable us to succeed in our strategic ambitions.
