_Are you looking to begin 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 part time Planning Technical Officer.

Located in the county of Warwickshire, Rugby is a borough of over 100,000 population and is one of the fastest growing boroughs in the country, which is expected to grow by 30% by 2035.

You will be part of a small team that will be responsible for the processing and delivery of search requests into the Council and to provide technical support within the Development Management and Major Projects & Economic Development teams by monitoring in-boxes, electronic case management, raising orders/goods receipting, maintaining planning records and producing information to aid the Planning Committee process.

You and the team will act as the first point of contact for all general planning queries including advice on the need for planning permission and you will also support officers in the administration of the planning and enforcement appeals procedures, so a working knowledge of the UK planning process would be desirable.

You and the team will also be involved in supporting the Service's requirements to collect, prepare and submit data for performance monitoring purposes across various aspects of the wider service and assist in responding to Freedom of Information and Environmental Information Regulation requests.

Explaining every step of the planning process to our customers is vital to our success, and your achievements will be based not only on your ability to do your job but also on putting customer service at the heart of everything you do.

You will need to possess excellent oral and written communication and advisory skills as well as being computer literate.

Our offices are located in Rugby Town Centre and there is also the opportunity to work from home for some of the time during the working week.
