Are you a planner with an interest in all things strategic? Do you want to play a key role in the future of South West Hertfordshire? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.

We are looking for an ambitious planning professional who can help us and our partners to shape the future of South West Hertfordshire. The South West Herts Joint Strategic Plan will set the strategic planning context within which future Local Plans will sit. You will be a key part of the team to deliver the Plan and its policies; work is already underway on the plan with an initial Regulation 18 consultation planned early 2022.

You will be involved in researching, formulating and drafting policies to support the Joint Strategic Plan. You will also work closely with key internal and external stakeholders to help the South West Herts authorities develop the plan’s vision and objectives, ensuring that this facilitates sustainable strategic growth that is right for South West Hertfordshire. You will also support our ambitious communications and engagement programme to ensure that we are ahead of the game and that this reflects our ambitious plans and growth ambitions.

There is not a moment to lose - come and help us deliver the right plan for South West Hertfordshire.

Whilst the post will be hosted by one Council, flexible working arrangements are available, including the ability to work from the offices of other partner authorities and/or to be primarily home based.

The post is initially offered on a 1 year fixed term contract, with applications for both full-time and part-time working (minimum 22 hours / week) considered. Applications on the basis of secondment or consultancy basis are also invited, providing the requirements of the post can be fulfilled.
