Jobs and working for us

We are in the process of transforming the Planning Service, and this is a fantastic opportunity to join and be a part a new team of senior staff and make a real impact in the service.

There are opportunities across the three teams – Development Management, Planning Policy and Major Projects, where a ‘one team’ approach is embraced.

Taking up any of these positions will enable you to be involved in the work of other teams, gain key experience and become part of teams delivering major change in the borough.
