Planning Officer

Salary £32,234 - £33,782

Full time, 37 hours per week

Permanent

We currently have a number of exciting opportunities within the Bedford Borough Planning Service. The Council rarely advertises planning positions, but it is currently investing in the planning service in recognition of the Government growth agenda for the Oxford to Cambridge Arc.

Not only will you have an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and supportive team around you to help you grow and develop your career in planning, but you will have the chance to progress and determine a wide variety of planning applications, appeals, enforcement cases and pre application enquiries.

For the planner role, we are looking for someone with enthusiasm and a keenness to learn and ideally someone with development management experience, although experience in planning enforcement, planning policy, planning conservation or planning consultancy will also be considered. Excellent customer service skills are also a must for the role, as well being a team player.

For an informal discussion on the role, please contact paul.lennox@bedford.gov.uk or gideon.richards@bedford.gov.uk

Closing date: 30th December 2021.
