Job summary

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) Town Planning Graduate Scheme offers a unique opportunity to start a career in planning at the centre of national policy.

The scheme offers a two-year scheme with placements across planning teams, giving the chance to get involved in developing new planning policies and be at the heart of planning decisions.

With the planning system a key enabler of the Government�s wider mission to level-up the country and regenerate left-behind places, it is a particularly exciting time to be joining the Department. The start date for successful candidates will be flexible. 

We particularly welcome candidates from an ethnic minority background and other underrepresented groups to apply, as we work to continually improve our ability to represent the places and communities we support through our work.

Job description

Town Planning Graduates on the scheme will undertake placements on 6-month rotation across the planning divisions in DLUHC, developing new planning policies and/or delivering new planning legislation.

The scheme also offers learning and development opportunities, and support from a dedicated mentor (alongside your line manager).

Support for those applying for membership of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) will also be given. These are exciting and challenging roles at the heart of the Government's agenda.

Working across the Planning divisions which oversee government planning policy, graduates will take forward work to significantly improve the planning system, deliver a new National Planning Policy Framework, reform how we plan for infrastructure and drive digital transformation.

There may also be opportunities to spend time in planning roles in other government departments such as the Department for Transport and the Department for Education.

The roles will involve working with senior officials across Whitehall, as well as engagement with a wide range of external partners including business and local government.

Post holders will work collaboratively with colleagues across the various Planning and Housing Directorates as well as closely with legal colleagues, analysts and other government departments. 

Person specification

These are specialist town planning roles for recently graduated town planners or for those graduating this academic year. Candidates must have, or be working towards completing, an RTPI accredited degree to be considered. It requires relevant knowledge and understanding of the town planning system, including experience and evidence of eligibility for membership of the RTPI.

We are looking for planners who can demonstrate:

- Excellent written, presentational, and verbal communication skills.

- Good knowledge of the history and development of the town planning system in England and how the planning system in England works.

- Good understanding of the key priorities of the Government and how this will impact on the planning system, along with the key government planning policies.
