This firm have a strong reputation across the South of England with planning teams across the region. They have a very established client base in the Kent office including private and public sector organisations. The project work is varied but has a lean towards residential and mixed-use schemes and would provide the opportunity to get involved with the pre-application stage, public consultation, preparing and submitting applications, site promotion works as well as good client exposure which will give you excellent commercial experience.

We are ideally looking for a minimum of 6-12 months’ experience for the Assistant Planner post and at least 18 months’ experience for the Planner post. Experience can be gained from either the public or private sector but candidates will ideally have dealt with some application work. There is really good progression with this role and a really supportive office to help you with your MRTPI submission (should you be at that stage) and to give you a good range of experience to progress further through your career.

You should have strong report writing and communication skills, be confident in client facing situations and work well to tight deadlines. Candidates will be rewarded with a competitive remuneration package and excellent progression.
