Associate policy planner

Principal / Associate Policy Planner (Town Planning)

Multiple UK Office Locations | Hybrid Working

An employee-owned consultancy is looking to appoint a Principal / Associate Policy Planner following a significant increase in workload across its policy and plan-making team.

The position was approved recently due to increasing demand across the team's policy and plan-making workload and represents an opportunity to join a well-established team supporting Local Planning Authorities across the UK.

What stands out about this opportunity is the culture. This is a values-led business where culture influences both the employee experience and the type of work the organisation chooses to undertake. Also, several senior leaders began their careers in junior positions and many employees have built long-term careers with the business.

This opportunity would suit an individual with experience in:

• Local Plans
• Policy development
• Development plan preparation
• Evidence base studies
• Working with or within Local Planning Authorities

Applicants from both consultancy and Local Planning Authority backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The successful individual will play an important role in the next phase of growth for the planning team, leading projects, supporting clients and helping to shape the future direction of the service.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Employee-owned business
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Strong track record of internal progression
• Exposure to a diverse range of Local Authorities and planning challenges across the UK
• Opportunity to work on projects delivering genuine environmental and social impact
• A culture where people are trusted, recognised and encouraged to develop their careers
