Assistant Planner – Bristol
I’m currently working with a well-regarded planning consultancy in Bristol that’s looking to bring an Assistant Planner into their growing team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate or early-career planner who wants exposure to a broad range of planning projects and genuine support towards professional development and RTPI accreditation.

Typical responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the preparation and submission of planning applications
- Assisting with site appraisals and planning research
- Drafting planning statements and supporting documentation
- Liaising with local authorities, consultees, and clients
- Tracking applications and appeals
Who They’re Looking For
- A degree in Town Planning or a related discipline
- A genuine interest in pursuing a career in planning
- Strong communication and report-writing skills
- Organised, proactive, and keen to learn
- Any relevant experience (placements, consultancy, or local authority) would be beneficial but isn’t essential
What’s On Offer
- Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
- Full support towards RTPI accreditation
- Structured training and mentoring
- Hybrid working options
- Clear progression within a growing Bristol team
- Supportive, sociable working culture
If you’re an Assistant Planner (or a Planning Graduate looking to step into your first role) and you’re interested in building a long-term career in planning, I’d be very happy to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
