Remote working or hybrid (a blend of home and London office based)

Part time 3 days per week (21 hours)

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the RTPI's Planning Aid England service.

The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) champions the power of planning in creating prosperous places and vibrant communities. We represent over 27,000 members worldwide, supporting them throughout their careers.

We shape planning policy, raise professional standards and are the only body in the UK to confer Chartered status to planners, the highest professional qualification.

Planning Aid England (PAE) provides planning advice and support to help individuals and communities engage with the planning system and get involved in planning their local area.

We work closely with volunteers - all of whom are members of the Institute - to deliver a range of services that support more effective engagement with the planning process.

You will have experience of providing planning advice to the general public with high professional credibility, be well organised with excellent communication skills including the ability to deal sensitively with the needs of more disadvantaged members of the community.

You will also have sound understanding, and ideally experience, of community engagement in planning. It would be an advantage if you have experience in working with volunteers. You will be comfortable working both collaboratively and independently, with the ability to manage your workload effectively.

The post can be either fully remote or hybrid (a blend of home and London office based).

RTPI has a positive, supportive and inclusive work environment which actively operates a policy of helping its employees at all levels to achieve professional growth.

We seek to foster a collaborative and respectful work environment which promotes equality, diversity and inclusion.
