Are you a town planner looking for the next step in your career? Or are you a newly qualified graduate in planning or related subject looking to start out on your career?
We are seeking two Planning Officers to join our dynamic Development Management team of Planners and Technical Support Staff who all work together to deliver high-quality developments, improve the quality of the built and natural environment across the district and help make Teignbridge a healthy and desirable place to live, work and visit.
* Whilst these roles are full-time, we will consider applicants looking for compressed work patterns or slightly less than full-time hours.
We do things well and keep developing.
Over the past year, our team has worked tirelessly to elevate our performance, and we are proud to say we are now a high-performing team. We are seeking individuals who share our passion for best practices in every aspect of our work and are dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service.
Our planning officers work in geographical area teams and, depending on your level of experience, you will have a case load of varying scales of applications, dealing with all stages of the development management process. This will include giving pre-application advice, making site visits, writing reports, making recommendations on your own cases and representing the council in appeals and at planning committee. Training and mentoring will be given to inexperienced staff to help you learn and grow in your new career with us and will encourage and support ongoing training and development for all team members.
We offer a flexible working environment where everyone works in the office at least 50% of their week and may work the remainder at home should they wish. New staff are required to be office based for the first two months to help build relationships and ensure joined up working.
If you are motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to make a real impact, we want you to join us on this exciting journey. Together, we can create a brighter future for Teignbridge.
We’re better together.
