York has an outstanding built and natural environment and new development opportunities have to be carefully managed to preserve the City’s special qualities.
If you looking to develop your career in town planning, and you already have some experience, this role is a great opportunity for you. You will join our friendly team assessing a caseload of planning applications and pre-application enquiries primarily for householder and minor developments. The post will be based at our award winning City Centre offices, although some remote/home-working will be required.
This is a career-graded post which will give you the opportunity to progress in your career subject to qualifications and experience. Appointment within the career grade will be in line with your skills, experience and qualifications. Ideally you will have some experience of dealing with householder planning applications.
All candidates must have sound knowledge of the local government planning and development management system and relevant legislation, policy, guidelines and best practice. You will be expected to display good communication, IT and advisory skills.
The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development.
