Management qualification.
Experience of mentoring or supporting other planning officers.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to work on projects that genuinely matter. You'll be involved in major development proposals from inception to determination, helping to shape the future of our communities while working alongside a supportive and highly professional team. The Council is embarking on a process of transformation and this is an opportunity to bring your fresh perspective to our well-established and friendly team of professionals.

£53,179 – £56,546 per annum (Up to £58,748 for exceptional performance once in post) (Pay award pending)
