Job Description & Person Specification >

We have an exciting opportunity within our Development Management Team for an Assistant Planning Enforcement Officer.

About the role
As an Officer working in our fast-paced, innovative, and supportive team you will be working across Torquay, Paignton and Brixham investigating alleged breaches of planning control and taking action to remedy them. You will be delivering excellent customer service and helping to deliver on the Council’s corporate goals which include thriving people and places.

Planning enforcement work can provide a good introduction into a career in planning and in Torbay there is the opportunity to enjoy a good work-life balance in a scenic and beautiful part of the UK.

We have a new Planning Enforcement Policy and are using new technology to monitor, prioritise and action our enforcement cases.

The role can accommodate office based or hybrid working depending on your preference. We have a whole host of benefits such as a flexible working scheme, a commitment to your wellbeing and the Local Government Pension Scheme. Sometimes there might be the need for you to work after traditional office hours, but our flexi scheme means you’ll be entitled to take those hours back at a later date.

About you
We’re looking for new team members who are motivated, enthusiastic, good communicators and can play close attention to detail.

You will have an interest in development management and the built environment and be willing to learn about the planning system and legislation and how this applies to breaches of planning control.

About us
There has never been a better time to join our team at Torbay Council. We have a real momentum building and have a shared sense of purpose and ambition. Torbay is a fantastic place to live, work and visit, offering unrivalled quality of life for individuals and families. We want to see a healthy, happy and prosperous Torbay. If you do too, join us. Come and be part of our #torbaystory.
