We\'re currently looking for an Assistant Planner to join us on a part time, jobshare basis working 18 hours 30 minutes per week. The actual pattern of work will be agreed with the successful candidate.

The Benefits

• Blended office/home working arrangements
• Opportunity to develop specialist skills in rural planning, with a focus on landscape and heritage conservation

The post provides an opportunity for the post-holder to gain experience of work in a national park by assisting in the planning work in the development management part of the Planning Service.

The Peak District National Park is a treasured landscape that has been shaped by the long interaction of natural and cultural forces. You will play an important role in maintaining the balance between people and nature to ensure that the Park can be enjoyed for generations to come.

What\'s more, we are based between Manchester, Sheffield and Derby, making this the ideal opportunity to break away from city life and commute to the country.

As an Assistant Planner, you will support our Planning Service in guiding and managing planning and developments within the national park.

Reporting to the Area Team Manager, you will be expected to deal with straightforward planning applications and related issues. You will negotiate with applicants on planning applications and prepare reports and recommendations.

• Formal planning or other relevant discipline training to degree-level (at least part completed) leading towards an RTPI or related professional qualification, or 5 GCSEs grade A*-C (including English and Mathematics), plus 2 A-levels or BTEC National Diploma in a relevant subject (or equivalent) combined with some relevant experience in planning
• Awareness of rural planning/conservation issues
• Ability to make balanced judgements
• Good IT skills, including ability to use Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel and databases

It would be desirable for the successful applicant to have experience of development management practice, planning law and regulations.
