Description

Do you have a passion for planning that could shape the future of Sevenoaks?
We have a strong emphasis on development and shared learning within the planning team at Sevenoaks.

With us, you'll have the opportunity to feed your passion for planning through innovation and support from us to develop your career (several of our staff have been promoted following the successful completion of their planning qualifications and via our Career Grade).

You'll have the opportunity to work on a variety of evidence-based projects, organising community engagement and drafting policy. A key element of this is our Local Plan which you'll play a key role in.

You'll be involved in the whole process from preparing the plan by developing evidence and drafting policy to engaging with stakeholders and analysing options.

If you have a background in planning, then you'll know that it takes an organised approach and a commitment to accuracy and balancing deadlines.

The Sevenoaks District faces many diverse urban/rural issues, and you'll have the opportunity to be a part of this.

For example, you can help develop policy in relation to the Council's Net Zero 2030 commitment, our approach to strategic employment areas and design briefs for key sites.

Development pressures are the highest they've ever been and a key challenge for planners is to balance the District's housing and economic needs with the protection of the Green Belt.

So, if you share our enthusiasm for development and innovation, then we would love to hear from you

This role will be based at our Council Offices, Argyle Road, Sevenoaks Kent TN13 1HG.

We currently operate a hybrid working model for the majority of our roles where your working time will be divided between the office (2-3 days) and home working (2-3 days).
