Job Details

The head of planning and building is an exciting role managing a key service within the beautiful Test Valley area, which provides a diverse mix of urban and rural planning matters. It is an area rich in natural and built heritage that requires expert skills and sensitive handling and offers major development areas as well as internationally designated and protected sites. And if that wasn’t enough, you’ll help to steer the organisation and develop your leadership potential as part of the council’s top management team. The ability to collaborate and build relationships quickly as well as keeping your team motivated and on track are essential.

You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as we have really big ambitions. We are proud of our track record in delivering housing and affordable housing in excess of our required housing delivery target and we are an outstanding performer in this area. Wider priorities include transforming our main town centres of Andover and Romsey, tackling the climate emergency and developing new ways of agile working.

We are an organisation that truly wants to develop its people in an inclusive and supportive environment. If you are an inspiring leader with extensive experience within planning and development management and are a full member of the Royal Town Planning Institute, we’d love you to join our team. This role provides opportunities for you to develop as a leader at the highest level.

For an informal discussion please contact Carol Moore, Deputy Chief Executive, or Andrew Ferrier, Chief Executive, on 01264 368102.

Closing date for applications midday Monday 24 January 2022.

Please note the recruitment process will consist of three stages:

Initial discussion on MS Teams: 2 February 2022
First stage interviews: 10 February 2022
Second stage interviews: 11 February 2022

This role is an opportunity for you to share your fresh thinking in an organisation that is ready to help you make an impact.
