_ Are you looking to begin or develop your experience in a range of urban and rural planning issues?_
An opportunity has arisen within our friendly and proactive Development Management Section for a Graduate Planning Officer/Planning Officer.

Rugby is one of the fastest growing towns in the country and is set to grow by 30% by 2035.

Located in the county of Warwickshire, near the cities of Coventry and Leicester, with direct rail links to London and Birmingham and within "the golden triangle" of the strategic road network, Rugby's accessibility is one of the key attributes making it a great place to live and work.

For the Planning Officer role, a professional qualification (or be close to achieving such a qualification) or appropriate experience would also be expected.
