Would you like to gain Development Management experience in a supportive team working in the Lake District National Park, one of the country’s most spectacular landscapes and UNESCO World Heritage Site? Then this is the opportunity for you.
- Working with us
- We’re looking for a Student Planner to join us for one year. Based within our friendly Development Management Team at our head office in Kendal, you’ll:
- Grow your knowledge of our policy functions, for example by supporting the preparation of our annual monitoring report.
- Be mentored in your work by a senior team member to ensure you have all the professional support you need to grow, develop and to get the job done.
- Have experienced peers on-hand to provide you with professional guidance and coaching in your work.
- Be included any training and development opportunities that come up.

To make sure you’ve got plenty of support on-hand, this will be a mostly office-based role, but with some opportunities for home-working too.
- About you- You must have a full UK driving licence so you can use our pool vehicle fleet to travel around the park for work.
- Living
- We’re based in the attractive market town of Kendal on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Kendal is a great place to live if you want to be in a lively town with ready access to the outdoors. There are other options for living nearby too, both inside and outside the national park.
- The small city of Lancaster is just a 15 minute train journey, or a 30 minute drive from our office. With two universities, Lancaster offers city living, but with the countryside and coast on your doorstep. It’s a place several of our team call home. The seaside town of Morecambe adjoins Lancaster and is also a 30 minute drive away from Kendal.
- The small market town of Penrith to the north-east of the national park has excellent amenities and great connections, being on the West Coast Mainline, M6 and A66. It’s about 25 minutes by train to Oxenholme station, or a 40 minute drive from our offices.
- And of course if you choose to live in the national park this offers spectacular countryside and access to an outdoor lifestyle as soon as you step outside your door.
- Contact- Apply- In-person interviews will take place on Thursday 4 April 2024.
