Assistant Planner (Kent)

A fantastic opportunity has become available for an Assistant Town Planner to join an expanding planning team in the Maidstone area of Kent. This is a great opportunity to join a firm with an excellent reputation in the market and who can offer a structured, mentoring support programme to enable you to become a chartered planner at the earliest opportunity.

Candidates must hold a completed RTPI accredited UK masters degree and ideally an undergraduate degree of 2:1 and above (although there may be flexibility on this for a strong application). You will ideally have 6 – 18 months experience but we will also consider a masters graduate with no experience for the right person. Ideally candidates will be living in the Kent area or have a connection to the area. You should be able to demonstrate good report writing skills, confident presentation and communication skills and plenty of enthusiasm for the planning sector. We’re looking for a good team player who works well to deadlines and enjoys a busy office environment.

You will be joining a small planning team that is part of a larger planning offering across other offices and there are other disciplines around you, so the office environment is busy and sociable.

Your role will include research/analysis; preparing and submitting planning applications; writing planning statements; preparing Design & Access statements; liaising with internal and external professionals and consultants as well as keeping up to date with local, regional and national planning policy.

You will be rewarded with a competitive salary and benefits package, full RTPI support including an assigned mentor, access to the company bonus scheme and excellent progression opportunities.
