Job introduction

Join us in beautiful Brighton and Hove – an exciting place to develop your career in town planning, where in the Development Management service, you will line manage a number of planning officers in one of our area teams.

About the role

Brighton and Hove, a city by the sea, has an enviable number of iconic and historic buildings, whilst also embraces the new. The city is a unique, energetic, innovative and a centre for culture in the South East. The City places a strong emphasis on high quality and sustainable designs.

This is a rare and exceptional opportunity to provide leadership in one of England’s busiest and most improved unitary Development Management services within easy reach of London. You will have a wide reaching impact on the city including realising the goals set out by our City Plans and supporting our ambition to become Carbon Neutral by 2030

Reporting to one of the Planning Managers, you will need a positive, solution-finding approach to work whilst achieving targets and meeting deadlines. You will be expected to provide positive and effective leadership to the team, be able to handle complex and sensitive matters and be effective at managing change. You will present applications to the Planning Committee and represent the Council at appeals. As such you should have a sound and thorough knowledge, with extensive practical experience, of all aspects of the planning and the development process, particularly with regard to planning applications, committee reports and appeals.

As a team leader, you will be expected to provide line management for up to 8 case officers with varying levels of planning experience and manage their day to day workload, providing professional advice and guide all aspects of their development. You will be delivering projects, interventions and initiatives and develop policies (together with the Policy team) in-line with corporate and business plans.

Right now, we are mainly working from home and will provide flexible working arrangements to suit your circumstances on an ongoing basis.
