The Opportunity

  Preparing planning statements, supporting documentation and assessments
  

  Liaising with clients, consultees and local planning authorities

About You

• Experience at Planner or Senior Planner level
  

  Background in Local Authority and/or private consultancy
  

  Strong written and verbal communication skills
  

  Comfortable managing your own workload remotely

What’s On Offer

• 100% work-from-home (permanent)
  

  Competitive salary depending on experience
  

  Supportive and flexible consultancy culture
  

  Opportunity to gain private sector consultancy experience
