Full-time | Permanent
Planning & Development Consultancy (Independent)
We are currently working with a progressive and independent planning consultancy to appoint a Graduate Planner at a key stage of the company's growth.
This is a firm that does things differently - one that values diverse perspectives, invests in its people, and prides itself on its collaborative and modern approach to development and planning. With a growing client base of landowners, developers, promoters and public sector bodies, this is a fantastic opportunity to begin your planning career with hands-on involvement across a wide range of projects.
The Opportunity:
You will work alongside a highly experienced and supportive team on:
Preparing and managing planning applications
Supporting strategic land promotions and policy representations
Undertaking research, site assessments and client reporting
Engaging with stakeholders, consultants, and local authorities
The work spans residential, commercial, and rural sectors, providing a varied and engaging start to your career in planning.
What We're Looking For:
A degree in Town Planning or a related field (Geography, Urban Studies, etc.)
An interest in pursuing MRTPI accreditation (or already working towards it)
Strong written and verbal communication skills
A proactive, curious mindset with a willingness to learn
An ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team setting
Experience from a placement year or internship in planning is beneficial but not essential.
Why This Role?
Join a company where individuality is encouraged - no rigid moulds or one-size-fits-all approaches
Work closely with senior professionals who are invested in your development
Be part of a team that values entrepreneurial thinking and positive impact
Gain early exposure to meaningful projects and client engagement
Benefit from a company culture built on respect, belief, and support
