  • Liaising with local authorities and external consultants.
  • Monitoring planning applications and managing project deadlines.

  • Previous experience within a planning consultancy or local authority.
  • Working towards MRTPI or already chartered.
  • Good understanding of UK planning legislation and policy.
  • Strong communication, organisation and report-writing skills.
  • A proactive approach and the ability to manage multiple projects.

What's on Offer?

  • Salary between £33,000–£43,000 depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working options.
  • Competitive annual leave.
  • Pension and additional benefits.
  • Support towards MRTPI chartership.

The consultancy is continuing to grow and offers a great environment for someone who wants to develop their technical skills, gain more responsibility and build a long-term career in planning.

If you're based in Yorkshire or considering a move to the area, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
