We have an exciting opportunity for an Area Development Manager to join our Planning team based in Braintree, Essex.

Are you an experienced Town Planner looking to take a step into management or an existing manager looking for a new challenge? Then you may be the Area Development Manager we need to lead a team and provide an effective Development Management Service for an area of the district.

This is an exciting time to work for Braintree. The district will grow significantly in the coming years, and we are looking to embrace this challenge to deliver well-designed new homes, jobs and the infrastructure required to support this growth, whilst being careful to preserve the character and quality of the district.

About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic and ambitious Planning service. As an Area Development Manager, you will have the skills to lead, coach, and mentor a team of 4-5 professional Planning Officers.

This is a pivotal role within the team, being responsible for signing off Delegated Decisions for one of the Area teams, managing and monitoring team performance, ensuring the delivery of excellent customer service, and being the Lead Officer at Planning Committee. In addition, you will play an active role in ensuring continuous improvement and that service transformation is embedded effectively.

What we’re looking for

The successful candidate will have extensive Town Planning knowledge and experience of working within a Development Management team. You will have a strong proactive work ethic, analytical in your approach, with excellent communication, report writing, and customer service skills, as well as the necessary motivation to deliver high performance and the ability to work accurately and to tight deadlines. If you are hardworking, ambitious, dynamic, and commercially aware, we want to hear from you.

You will need to be a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute or be eligible for membership. If you have previous management experience, it would be a bonus.

So, if you think you have what is required and you are ready for a challenging, yet very stimulating, varied and rewarding role with a fantastic team, then please apply now.
