Post by TMjobs »

the salary is subject to experience and level
An exciting time to join Cotswold District Council – public service but not as you know it!

Cotswold District is a great place to live, work and visit, and we are rightly proud of our businesses, communities and residents. We are busy recreating a council that’s pro-active and responsive to the needs of our residents and businesses in a fast changing environment. That means we need to be ‘fleet of foot’ and look for innovative and creative ways to deliver against our Corporate Plan priorities.

About the role…

Progressing within a career is one of the biggest milestones in most of our lives and it can be a challenge to find a career that truly fits our ambitions and aspirations. There are a few great organisations that can help you excel, achieve, and support you in discovering your true potential – Publica Group is one of these organisations. We’re looking for two Senior Planners who are looking to develop into Principal Planners to join our excellent Planning Service.

This is a supervisory post where you will be expected to train/mentor and supervise more junior members of staff alongside dealing with the more complex and sensitive applications. It will involve deputising for more senior staff as required and being recognised as an expert in the field of Development Management.

This post is career graded to enable you to develop as experience/skills/qualifications are gained or to be appointed at a higher level if they are already in place. You will be a team leader largely responsible for the preparation/organisation of the monthly schedule of applications to be determined by Members and for the day to day supervision of the work and output of part the wider Development Management team as well as carrying a caseload of the more complex and sensitive applications.

The appended Role Description and Employee specification sets out the entry level requirements to be appointed at Senior level and the attached matrix indicates the likely criteria to determine where appointments will be made and how career advancement to Principal level can take place. Failure to progress to the higher band is not an essential requirement and the ability to progress to the higher band will usually be dependent upon supervisory opportunities arising

These are new roles to expand the planning team to help with the increased demand, which will cover Cotswold District Council, and you will have the opportunity to work across West Oxfordshire and Forest of Dean District Council to further develop your career progression. Within these Districts, there are plenty of places to see and visit whether you love hiking or cycling. With our agile working ethos: you will be spoilt for choice.
