The post offers an exciting opportunity to become part of a highly motivated team who are committed to delivering high quality development that respects our internationally important historic mining landscapes and retains their distinctive character.

To be considered for this rewarding role, you will have a recognised degree level qualification in planning, conservation or a related subject and be eligible for membership of Royal Town Planning Institute (MRTPI) or Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).

You will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of planning policy at national and local level and extensive knowledge of planning and historic environment conservation practice, legislation and guidance.
