£32,234-£35,745

Lichfield is one of the finest cathedral cities in the country, which offers an exciting challenge - protecting and enhancing a high quality environment while managing the delivery of sustainable economic growth.

We are looking to appoint a Senior Planning Officer to support the Principal Planning Officer for Major Projects to and make a positive difference to Lichfield District.

The Council has a significant growth agenda and a strong emphasis on quality design, and we are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join the team to contribute towards this. 

You will ideally be a qualified planner (MRTPI) or working towards this, with post qualification experience in development management, including within a Local Planning Authority. You should have a good knowledge of the planning system and excellent organisational and time management skills.  You will be a good team player with the ability to negotiate on complex schemes and have good written and verbal communication skills. An appreciation and understanding of urban design principles would also be very useful in this role.

Your work will include dealing with major planning applications and projects, with an emphasis on contributing towards the Council’s committed development team approach and high quality service. 

We offer flexible working arrangements, essential car user allowance, payment of RTPI professional fees, together with a generous annual leave entitlement, local government pension scheme and a positive approach to employee wellbeing. There will be a hybrid model of working with some days home based and some days in the office to allow greater team collaboration.

Please note that you will require a full driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes together with the appropriate business cover insurance.
