United Kingdom Your Full time

Located in Lancashire, close to the Lake District, North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales, Ribble Valley is a beautiful rural area which includes market towns and picturesque villages and a large part of the Forest of Bowland Area National Landscape.

The combination of such an attractive area and proximity to large urban areas in Lancashire present an interesting and challenging mix of planning issues.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced planner to join a multi- disciplinary team dealing with planning policy, housing, economic development, and community partnerships. You will have a key role in the preparation and successful delivery of the Council’s new Local Plan.

You will also lead in delivering a range of related planning policy work. You must have a recognised town planning, or similar, qualification and knowledge of current planning legislation and guidance.

If you wish to join an enjoyable yet challenging working environment that forms part of an organisation committed to making a real difference for the community that we serve, then we want to hear from you.

Join us to receive a host of benefits such as flexible working hours (flexitime scheme in operation with no core hours), generous leave entitlement, occupational pension scheme and training/development opportunities.


Closing date for applications: Sunday, 16th June 2024
Interviews will be held on: Wednesday, 26th June 2024

If you need reasonable adjustments for any part of the recruitment process, please contact us on the details above or provide further information on your application form.

Ribble Valley Borough Council reserve the right to close job vacancies before the deadline, so please apply early to avoid disappointment.
