About the Role

We have two exciting opportunities for Planning Officers to join Nottingham City Council's Development Management Service.

Nottingham is one of the UK's youngest, fastest-changing and most ambitious cities, with a diverse mix of regeneration projects, city centre development, heritage assets, major infrastructure investment, residential growth and neighbourhood improvements. As a Planning Officer, you will play a direct role in shaping the future of the city by assessing planning applications and helping to deliver sustainable development that benefits Nottingham's residents, businesses and communities. Based on the attached job description, the role includes assessing planning applications, providing pre-application advice, undertaking site visits, preparing reports and engaging with applicants, agents, councillors and local communities.

This is an excellent opportunity for planners looking to build their experience in a supportive and progressive local authority. You'll gain exposure to a varied caseload, work alongside experienced planning professionals and be encouraged to develop your skills, professional judgement and career.

Help shape the future of Nottingham

Few planning roles offer the variety, challenge and opportunity available in Nottingham. From major regeneration schemes and city centre development to heritage-led projects and neighbourhood improvements, you'll work on proposals that have a visible impact on one of the UK's most ambitious Core Cities.

We're looking for two Planning Officers who want to develop their careers in a supportive, innovative and forward-thinking planning authority. Whether you're looking to build your experience or take the next step in your professional development, we'll provide the opportunities, support and variety of work to help you succeed.

About You

The ideal candidate will have

  • An undergraduate degree in Town Planning or a related discipline together with a postgraduate qualification in planning or a related subject.
  • Experience of assessing planning applications or working within a development management environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain planning matters clearly to a range of audiences.
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to assess planning proposals, interpret technical information and make well-reasoned recommendations.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively to deadlines whilst maintaining high standards of customer service.
