The role
About Southwark:
Southwark is a large, ambitious and progressive council with a ‘can do’ attitude and enviable reputation. As a Council, we are successful, passionate and forward-thinking. We are committed to our ‘Fairer Futures for All’ promise which ensures that our residents and businesses are central to everything we do. If you want to make a difference at a local level, apply to Southwark Council today.
The Role:
The Town Planning Division is seeking a number of planning and business support officers. There are a variety of roles across three grades but all involve providing technical business support on a range of planning applications. This would primarily involve registration and validation of planning applications; updating the public planning register; basic assessment of information submitted with planning applications; processing planning appeals; assisting residents, applicants, members and agents with queries; preparing planning committee agendas; and collecting planning fees.
The Town Planning Division is very busy and the business support roles are central to ensuring that the Council meets statutory duties and performance targets to strict deadlines.
About You:
The successful candidates will have a good record of delivering results in customer facing roles. Good oral and written communication and analytical skills are essential. An understanding of the UK town planning system and aptitude for plan reading will be required.
