We’re making sure we are fit for the future – and we want you onboard!

We do things differently here at South Kesteven District Council.  We’re open to new ideas and are keen to embrace new ways of thinking and doing.  Which is why we’re looking for people with drive, enthusiasm and creativity to join us.  It’s a fantastic opportunity to work for a Council that is changing and going places.

We have an exciting opportunity in the Development Management team for someone with a passion for planning looking to use their skills to make an impact on new development in the District as part of our growth agenda.

What we need:

You will have a planning qualification or are working towards completing your planning degree. You might be looking for your first job or a new opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge. As investing in our staff is important, we provide CPD training opportunities and pay RTPI membership fees.

We are looking for two new members of the team who display a positive approach to problem solving, work effectively with others and take responsibility for their actions.

What you will do:

You will be responsible for your own caseload of applications but will also be expected to work alongside other more senior officers across the Council on more complex, strategic schemes and projects. This role will give you the opportunity to apply and develop your skills and experience across a wide range development types. The role will enable you to work in a flexible and agile way.

This is a great career move for someone who wants to work for an ambitious, agile and commercially aware authority that has growth as a key corporate priority. We hope to give you the opportunity to flourish and grow in your career.

If you are passionate about delivering quality development, then we would love to hear from you. 

About the team:

As part of the Growth directorate, the team plays a key role in delivering new housing, town centre regeneration and attracting new businesses to the District. Our ethos is not about speed and numbers at any cost – our newly formed, collaborative approach to achieving high quality design is unique within Lincolnshire. The landscape and heritage assets of the District make it an attractive place to live and work, with Stamford being our Georgian highlight. As our Local Plan reaches adoption, delivering on housing allocations is a major driver of our workload. The Council’s arm’s length companies are some of our key customers as we undertake our own building programmes for new housing, upgrading leisure centres and business space. We are at the forefront of digital transformation and flexible working, you will be signing off applications electronically and intelligent automation is dramatically changing our approach to support processes.

What we will do in return:

We are committed to caring for our employees both inside and outside the workplace and provide a variety of benefits, such as:

  • a generous pension scheme,
  • opportunities to progress and develop your career and skillset
  • access to a range of health and wellbeing activities
  • Flexible working
  • generous leave entitlement of 25 days (rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service),
  • travel season ticket loan and a variety of other staff/family friendly benefits and discounts.
