Join Our Team at AssetSphere – Planning Consultant (Full-Time or Part-Time)
Location: Sherborne, Dorset | Flexible Hours | Hybrid Working
At AssetSphere, we believe property is more than just land and buildings — it’s potential. We’re a forward-thinking, independent property consultancy helping a wide range of clients — from farmers and landowners to corporates and the public sector — unlock that potential.
Established in 2000, our small, dynamic team blends expertise across estate management, environmental consultancy, utilities, architecture, project management, surveying, and planning. We work on everything from agri-environment schemes and renewable energy projects to large-scale residential master planning, educational and commercial builds, and estate diversification.
We’re growing — and we’re looking for a passionate Planning Consultant to join us. Whether you’re looking for a full-time position or part-time flexibility, if you bring experience in planning (particularly rural or public/private sector), and want to work somewhere that values balance, autonomy, and impact, we’d love to hear from you.
