Scunthorpe, United Kingdom North Lincolnshire Council Full time

North Lincolnshire is a great place to live and work, with outstanding schools, masses of green space and affordable housing - there really is nowhere better. It is a largely rural authority, with Scunthorpe as the major area of services and facilities, picturesque villages and within easy reach of Lincoln and the Greater Lincolnshire seaside resorts, the North East, Yorkshire and the East Midlands.

The local authority has a friendly and supportive Place Planning Team (Planning Policy), and pride ourselves on getting our job done by overcoming all the challenges, adopting a Local Plan. We seek a thoughtful and enthusiastic individual to help us adopt and review the statutory North Lincolnshire Local Plan, Design Codes, Supplementary Plans and guidance, as well as supporting on Neighbourhood Planning.

This is a permanent post 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. In a Unitary Authority and 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.

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 to meet deadlines, and will require excellent communication and co-ordinating skills. For this post a background in any planning field will be considered.

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

- Flexible and agile working arrangements
- the whole team currently works from the office once a week, but this can vary
- Free car parking close to our offices
- 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
