Exciting Career Opportunities with Ipswich Borough Council’s Thriving and Expanding Planning Department!

Ipswich Borough Council’s Planning Department is on an exciting expansion journey, and we’re looking for an ambitious Planning Officer to join our Development Management Team.

Ipswich is one of the fastest growing regional centres in England within close proximity to London (one hour by train). Thousands of homes (including a Sustainable Urban Extension of 3,500 homes at Ipswich Garden Suburb) and jobs are planned for the area and the council has a real ambition for regenerating the historic town centre and Waterfront.

Backed by successful Towns Fund bids there are a wealth of exciting opportunities in the pipeline.

We’re all about growth, so personal and professional development opportunities abound. Plus, we’ve got a supportive Employee Assistance Program to help you along the way.

Join our vibrant team for hybrid working and seize the chance to shape Ipswich’s future. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a growing department that’s making Ipswich an even better place to live.

As well as a good salary, we offer a career grade average pension scheme, generous holiday and sick pay entitlements, subsidised parking for work and leisure, public transport discounts, free swimming and gym membership, cycle purchase scheme, plenty of personal and professional development opportunities, flexible working, hybrid working opportunities, Employee Assistance Programme and the opportunity to work with great colleagues.
