Do you enjoy working to tight timescales and adapting your workload to changing policy frameworks?

Do you have excellent communication skills as well as being highly organised?

If so, we'd love to hear from you

**Job description**:
There has never been a more exciting time to be working in active travel, and Active Travel England is at the forefront of this high-profile agenda. Active Travel England (ATE) is helping to deliver the Government’s ambitious vision for half of all journeys in England’s towns and cities to be walked, wheeled or cycled by 2030. The plan commits to ensure provision for pedestrians and cyclists is at the heart of local plan making and decision taking. Joining the team now represents a genuine opportunity to shape transport policy in a time when other wider considerations like decarbonisation and economic growth are central government priorities.

One of the core functions of ATE is its role in the spatial planning system. The Planning & Development team has two functions:

- **The Development Management Casework Team**: responsible for discharging ATE’s responsibilities as a statutory consultee for new development proposals as prescribed in the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
- **The Planning Policy & Strategy Team**: responsible for driving ATE’s spatial planning agenda forwards, scoping out opportunities for influence and delivering projects and programmes that will allow ATE to shape planning outcomes in plan-making.

We are looking for a highly motivated, organised and strategic self-starter, who is enthusiastic to be a part of ATE as it transitions from a new organisation to one that is a credible part of the spatial planning context.

You will need a good understanding of planning for active travel, with experience of working in a position in either the private, public of third sector that requires knowledge of planning, highways or sustainable transport policy and practice. With a good understanding of equality and diversity in scheme design, you will have good technical, communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

**Your duties will include but not limited too**:

- Supporting ATE in delivering its spatial planning priorities through the development management casework function.
- To provide appropriate advice to the wider ATE spatial planning team, other teams within ATE, Local Planning Authorities, developers, agents and other persons and bodies as appropriate in connection with development proposals and related matters in writing, by telephone or in person.
- Build networks both internally with ATE colleagues but also wider to help drive forward ATE’s ambitions to be a Centre of Excellence and embed best practice.
- Appropriately inputting into the formulation of planning guidance and ATE’s spatial planning future strategy.
- Preparing and presenting appropriate evidence in response to challenges against the recommendations of ATE, and preparing for negotiations to secure outcomes and opportunities for active travel.
- Input as appropriate into ATE’s learning, development and capacity building function for Local Authorities, including leading sessions as and when appropriate.
- Attendance at meetings with a wide mix of stakeholders and interested parties as required.
- Quality control oversight and line management duties for up to 2 team members.

This job description is intended only as a guide to the range of duties involved. The post holder will need to be flexible and adaptable in order to respond to other duties that may be required from time to time and the changes and developments within ATE.

**Additional Information**

Whilst we accept part time applicants, the minimum hours required for this role will be 24 hours per week.

We operate a flexible, hybrid model which will see you work 60% of your time in our offices.

**Person specification**:
We are looking for individuals who have the following skills:

- Clear and concise written and spoken communication skills, with an ability to present written information in a structured and balanced way appropriate to the needs of the reader.
- Highly motivated and proactive.
- Excellent time-keeping skills, both for your own workload but also for the workload of your team.
- A good team worker demonstrating loyalty and commitment to the organisation and team members.
