We are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity to join Maidstone Council as a   Development Management Team Leader. This opportunity has arisen due to recent internal career progression which reflects our commitment to supporting staff growth and progression.

Lancaster City Council is looking for a confident and experienced manager for its Planning and Housing Strategy functions.  The role is a critical one, overseeing multi-disciplinary teams including Planning Policy, the Climate Change Policy Hub, Heritage & Design, Housing Strategy and Consultation & Engagement Teams.

Due to internal promotion, we have an opportunity for two full time Senior Planning Officers to join our Development Management team on a permanent contract. One post within the householders/others team and the other within the Large Majors team.

Are you a planner with strategic skills and experience looking for a new challenge within the profession?   Or do you already specialise in local government infrastructure planning for growth, and  you  seek  an influential senior role?

We’ll give you the opportunity to be our spatial storyteller, weaving together narratives of land, people, history and future.  From small scale local schemes to the largest Swindon wide transport, housing and infrastructure initiatives, you will be at the centre of our planning story, as a catalyst for growth and community well-being, ensuring our spaces work for the many, not the few and that our design processes are participatory, inclusive and sustainable.
