About the role
Hammersmith and Fulham is a dynamic and ambitious West London borough working with major partners including Imperial College, BBC, Westfield, Ikea, Berkeley Group, HS2, and the OPDC. We have a large river frontage and a landmark Civic Campus opening later this year, offering a futuristic working environment. Our strong industrial strategy, Upstream, is creating a new tech city west and has already generated £6 billion of high-growth business investment and over 13,000 jobs.
You’ll handle a wide range of applications from householders and changes of use to complex masterplans within our Opportunity Areas. We have a dense housing stock with a rich heritage; a cultural and sporting presence with three major football stadiums and active major UK developers in our regeneration areas. As a trusted team member, you’ll work closely with residents and stakeholders, supporting your manager; excellent interpersonal skills and a responsive approach to workloads, deadlines, and new ideas are essential.
We have up to 3 Planning Officer positions, including potentially two at Senior Planning Officer level. The work will be tailored to your experience, with opportunities at junior level to assist more experienced officers on major applications. At senior level, and as you progress, there will be opportunities to lead on complex borough-wide sites. The roles involve flexible hybrid working, combining home and office days.
You need good written and oral communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within the organization and with external bodies. You should handle conflicting pressures while presenting logical planning arguments for the Council. Effective caseload management with multiple deadlines is required.
We are leveraging digital technology to improve service delivery and encourage officers to develop these initiatives. Our supportive management team will help nurture your skills, including negotiation, mentoring, and report review. This is a great opportunity to develop your skills, experience, and career. Please refer to the Role Profile for more details.
