This is a great opportunity for a skilled and professional planner to manage, negotiate and assess a varied caseload of complex and major planning applications that will shape the future of our city.

York has an outstanding built and natural environment and our planners have a crucial role in balancing significant development pressures with the city's special qualities and the challenge of climate change.

In addition to holding a degree and a professional planning qualification you will have an extensive knowledge of the planning system and experience of dealing with a wide range of planning proposals including 'major' applications.

Candidates should possess or be eligible for RTPI membership. The post offers flexible working from home and at our city centre offices.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.

This role is suitable as a job sharing position.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

If you are an internal candidate interested in applying for this job as a secondment opportunity, please discuss with your current line manager before submitting your application.

Please note, we do not have a sponsorship licence to sponsor individuals for visas to work in the UK, therefore we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.
