Bassetlaw District Council has a clear Vision to become the greenest, most sustainable district to live and work by 2040. We have been successful in securing a huge amount of inward investment into the area, and it is crucial that we can recruit and develop talented staff to make the most of this investment to deliver the Vision.

As part of this role, you’ll enjoy the challenge of working on both rural and urban projects whilst handling a varied case load of planning applications and appeals.
