Job description

We are looking for an entry grade Planning Advisor to join the Lincolnshire & Northamptonshire Sustainable Places Team.

We are committed to supporting personal and professional development. For the successful candidate there will be an opportunity to discuss undertaking further learning, such as an apprenticeship or a Masters degree in planning, depending on individual interests and career goals. This is not a requirement of the role, but we actively encourage colleagues to develop their skills and expertise.

As a planning advisor, you will play a vital role in supporting the Environment Agency’s interaction with the Town & Country Planning process, helping the team to manage planning consultations from Local Planning Authorities and developers across the area, contributing to environmental outcomes.

Your work will involve:

Providing technical and administrative support to help the team work efficiently and deliver high-quality outcomes
Supporting responses to lower risk statutory planning consultations and pre-planning enquiries

Working with internal teams to gather timely and high-quality advice to help influence planning decisions
Embracing new ways of working to improve efficiency and customer service
Supporting the administration of our chargeable advice service
Helping to provide a clear and positive planning service to our customers

The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don't just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment.

Everyone that joins the Environment Agency is required to undertake training and participate in incident response duties when the need to respond arises. Having an incident role is an essential part of working for the Environment Agency and an active way to support communities and prevent harm to the environment.

The team

You’ll join the Lincolnshire & Northamptonshire Sustainable Places team. We respond to statutory planning application consultations from the local planning authorities and other planning decision-makers. We feed into place making through planning policy, offering advice on development plans such as local plans. We also provide discretionary advice to planners, developers, and communities to support decision making and deliver better environmental outcomes.

We are a dispersed team based across our Kettering and Lincoln offices.

Experience/skills required

Expected skills and experience include:

A willingness to learn new things and take on new information quickly.
Strong customer service, communication and relationship building skills, both written and verbal.
Excellent time management and organisational skills and the ability to positively respond to changing and competing priorities within set timescales.

Self-motivated and able to work both independently and as part of a team.
A positive and enthusiastic attitude, with a drive to identify and try new ways of working.

Desirable

An understanding of environmental issues
An understanding of the UK town and country planning system

Ability to influence others and contribute to discussions
Ability to consider information and support decision making where there are competing factors

You’ll have a range of development opportunities and full training will be provided.

Contact and additional information

Working arrangements will be hybrid, with office attendance required at least once a week at your base location in Lincoln or Kettering. Some additional travel will be needed for off site meetings and team days; for example, the team meets three times a year in Peterborough for face to face sessions.

We support flexible working hours and practices to help you maintain a good work life balance, and we encourage ongoing learning and professional development.

Please read the Candidate Information Pack for further details. For queries, contact [email protected].

Applications are assessed blind using competency answers. Interviews will be held via MS Teams week commencing 29 June 2026.

If successful, you will have an incident management objective, with training provided.
