• Local Authority planners looking to move into consultancy

• Private sector planners seeking greater flexibility

• Those balancing family, location, or lifestyle commitments

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting and managing planning applications and related workstreams

• Preparing planning statements, supporting documentation and assessments

• Liaising with clients, consultees and local planning authorities

• Providing planning advice across a range of development projects

• Working independently while being supported by a collaborative senior team

About You

• Experience at Planner or Senior Planner level

• Background in Local Authority and/or private consultancy

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Comfortable managing your own workload remotely

• No requirement to be MRTPI at this stage (support available for progression)

What’s On Offer

• 100% work-from-home (permanent)

• Competitive salary depending on experience

• Supportive and flexible consultancy culture

• Opportunity to gain private sector consultancy experience

• Long-term career progression without sacrificing flexibility

This is a particularly strong option for planners who have felt restricted by office-based roles or who have struggled to move into consultancy due to lack of private-sector exposure.
