Your responsibilities will include:

Assisting with the preparation and submission of planning applications.
Supporting planning appraisals and research for development opportunities.
Undertaking planning policy research and reviewing local planning documents.
Assisting with the preparation of planning statements, reports and other written submissions.
Liaising with local planning authorities, clients and other consultants.
Supporting senior colleagues on a variety of residential, commercial and rural planning projects.
Attending meetings, site visits and planning committees where appropriate.
Building your knowledge of the planning system and developing your professional network.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Good research, analytical and organisational abilities.
The confidence to work collaboratively while also managing your own workload.
A positive, commercial and solutions-focused approach.
A full UK driving licence would be advantageous, given the potential for site visits.Previous planning experience is beneficial but not essential. What matters most is your enthusiasm to learn, willingness to take responsibility and ambition to develop your career.

You'll be joining an established and supportive team where you'll have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects from day one. The role offers excellent exposure to experienced professionals, varied client work and the opportunity to develop the practical skills needed to progress within the planning profession.
