It is an exciting time to work at Peterborough City Council. With a new Chief Executive and a new Executive Director, we are taking a fresh look at what we do, and how we do it. We are gearing up to start work on a brand-new Local Plan, and there has never been a better time to join us, as you will have the opportunity to shape the future, from the very start of the process.

We are seeking a Principal Planner to join our friendly planning policy team playing a key role in the delivery of our planning policy documents. Our Local Plan will establish where and how Peterborough should grow, decide how many homes we should build and determine where new jobs should be located. At the same time, these plans will protect the very things that make Peterborough a great place to live, such as our parks and historic areas.

We need a qualified planner with experience in planning policy who can help deliver our diverse and exciting policy service.

If you think this sounds like something you would enjoy doing, please do get in touch, and we can tell you all about the exciting and varied work that the team does.

Peterborough City Council recognises the need to develop flexible working practices and enable employees to maximise their performance and productivity whilst maintaining a good work life balance. This role is suitable for a hybrid model of office-based and remote working.

Closing date: 23 April 2023.
