Would you like to work in one of England’s finest landscapes and a World Heritage Site? The Lake District National Park Authority have an exciting opportunity for a Strategy Planner to join us in planning policy, based in the thriving market town of Kendal on the edge of the Lake District.

We are looking for an experienced Strategy Planner who can develop robust, effective and innovative planning policies and guidance according to your experience and interests. You will also have the opportunity to broaden your professional network, skills, and experience by progressing the National Park Management Plan alongside 25 partner organisations, and supporting the delivery of key projects within the new Management Plan.

We are soon to embark on preparing local design guidance having recently adopted our new Local Plan. You will be a great communicator, able to engage with our stakeholders and communities through documents and web content, via social media, and in person. We are keen to build on our digital planning services and look for a candidate who will be able to take forward new ideas to develop these services in anticipation of the forthcoming Planning Bill.

You will also need to demonstrate a willingness to learn and be a team player, helping our busy Development Management service implement plans and policies. You will care about sustaining the future of the National Park’s spectacular living and working landscape, rich built and cultural heritage, and its diverse natural environment.

Working with us, you’ll enjoy:

  • Working on a wide range of diverse projects within the Lake District National Park
  • Local Government Pension Scheme
  • Customisable benefits such as Cycle to Work scheme, car benefit scheme; purchase of additional leave
  • Flexi time, and a great working environment

Salary range on appointment is dependent upon experience, knowledge and skills.
