3 weeks ago

Towcester, United Kingdom West Northamptonshire Council Full time

About the role
We have a new opportunity to join the Planning Service Technical Support team to provide maternity cover on a 12 month fixed term contract.

As a Technical Support Officer, your main role is to make sure everyone - customers, the public, both internal and external stakeholders (including our Councillors) - receive high quality, consistent and efficient support for the effective administration and performance management of the Planning Service.

You will play a key role in supporting the Technical Support Manager, Technical Support Team Leaders and all other members of the Planning Service in their role and duties.

What will you be doing?

Additionally, you'll assist the Planning Policy team during peak consultation periods and will contribute to process improvements, system reviews, and various strategic initiatives as needed.

About you
You will need a genuine interest in the planning environment and an interest in ensuring our community in West Northants thrives.

Our ideal person will have experience working in a busy customer focused area and have fantastic communication skills as you will engage with the public and handle their feedback, making sure everything aligns with our corporate standards. Plus, you'll pitch in with process improvements, communications strategies, and training programs. In planning, we are passionate about people, places and sustainability.

We balance development to support new housing and jobs with protecting the environment for future generations and our commitment to net zero by 2030. We want to create an outstanding natural environment, fit for future generations. If this is something that you feel excited about, we’d love to hear from you
