Scunthorpe, United Kingdom North Lincolnshire Council Full time

North Lincolnshire Council want to increase prosperity for North Lincolnshire - for our residents, our communities, and our businesses. As reflected in the Council and Economic Growth Plans, we want North Lincolnshire to be thriving and successful and the people who live and work here to be connected and have prosperous, safe and healthy lives, and allow our existing and future businesses to thrive and grow.

This is a new post within the Place Planning Team, which produces and reviews the Council’s statutory North Lincolnshire Local Plan, associated Supplementary Planning Documents, and leads on supporting Neighbourhood Planning. Under the management of the Place Planning Specialist, you will immediately be involved in contributing to the development and implementation of the new Local Plan through the Plan’s ongoing Examination in Public. As a Unitary Authority you will have the opportunity to be involved in the full range of planning policy issues from housing and employment development to planning for minerals and waste operations.

A proven strategic thinker, you will be welcomed into a dedicated, friendly team of professional officers. We pride ourselves on getting the job done through supporting each other in overcoming all the challenges adopting a Local Plan can bring. You will be also be involved in a wide range of high-profile regeneration and corporate initiatives as part of the Council’s newly formed Development service.

As a career graded post, this is a rare and exciting opportunity for a highly motivated experienced Planning Officer seeking a new challenge, or a newly qualified (or close to qualification) graduate in a related field seeking to start their career in planning policy. You will be well organised and self-motivated, with the ability to work on your own initiative and to meet deadlines, you will require excellent communication and co-ordinating skills. For this post, experience of housing policy and development will be an advantage, however a background in any planning field will be considered.

Joining our progressive and welcoming team will bring a range of benefits, including:

- An attractive relocation package
- A comprehensive induction
- Excellent CPD opportunities
- Local Government Pension Scheme
- A generous annual leave entitlement
- The ability to purchase additional leave
- Discounted leisure membership packages
- A range of salary sacrifice schemes
- Flexible and agile working arrangements (including for anyone residing in other parts of the country)
