York has an outstanding built and natural environment and new development opportunities must be carefully managed to preserve the City’s special qualities.

If you have some development management experience, or you are looking to start your career in town planning, this is a great opportunity to join our team. You should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the local government planning and development management system, and to demonstrate good time management, communication and IT skills.

This is a career-graded post which will give you the opportunity to progress in your career subject to qualifications and experience. The starting salary will be in line with your skills, experience, and qualifications. A full driving licence would be an advantage.

Please note, we do not have a sponsorship licence to sponsor individuals for visas to work in the UK, therefore we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.

This post is suitable as a job sharing position.
