Devon, United Kingdom National Park Dartmoor Full time

The Role

As an Assistant Policy Officer, you will play a key role in delivering our planning activities and support our role as the planning authority for Dartmoor National Park.

Specifically, you will support the work of the Forward Planning and Economy service in the preparation and delivery of our Partnership Plan as well as statutory planning functions related to the local plan.

You will also ensure that we foster the socio-economic wellbeing of the communities throughout the National Park and have a role in planning how we as an organisation and as a National Park mitigate and adapt to climate change.

You will monitor Local Plan policies and actions, supporting the review, governance and implementation of the Partnership Plan, co-ordinate the evidence base for policy development in the National Park and assist in monitoring and action setting in relation to climate change objectives.

This varied and engaging role will also involve:

- Carrying out surveys, studies, and appraisals relating to the work of the Authority

- Advising on how the Authority can use data more effectively

- Preparing project briefs and invitations to tender for surveys, studies and appraisals

- Preparing monitoring reports

- Collating, analysing and preparing State of the Park information

- Advising the Development Management team, applicants and landowners on planning policy

- Liaising with local authorities, agencies, stakeholders and other organisations to foster partnership working

- Contributing to web content, social media and publications and helping with events

About You

To be considered as an Assistant Policy Officer, you will need:

- A degree-level qualification, ideally in Town and Country Planning or a related environmental, geography or natural or social sciences discipline

- A working knowledge of Microsoft Office, Excel and GIS applications and general ICT skills including those associated with data analysis, presentation, web and social media

- A high level of literacy to A level standard or equivalent

- A current, valid driving licence

Knowledge of relevant planning legislation would be beneficial to your application, as would an understanding of the role of National Park Authorities. Knowledge of local plan production, the procedures that need to be followed and the documents that underpin the production of policy plans would be advantageous. And an advanced ICT skill set related to design and statistical software packages will be also helpful in this role.

Previous Local Government experience of working in Planning Policy and Development Management would be desirable, as would a sound understanding of planning issues including those relating to minerals and waste issues. Experience of dealing with the general public, agents, elected members on planning policy matters would be equally favourable.

Other organisations may call this role Graduate Policy Officer, Planning Policy Officer, Graduate Planning Officer, Graduate Planning Policy Officer, or Graduate Planner.

This is the ideal role for a graduate with ambitions of developing a career in planning, and environmental policy to get their foot in the door of our organisation and help us to successfully manage our much-loved National Park.

In this role you’ll have the chance to learn all there is to know about planning and managing change in a national park to achieve conservation and enhancement.

So, if you are eager to join an organisation that supports local communities, the rural economy and our beautiful Dartmoor landscape, we want to hear from you
