This Job Has Expired! This advert has now been deleted by the advertiser, the details below are for information only.


Marking the eastern part of the Thames Gateway, Swale is in an exciting period of change, with plans for major growth. The Borough lies in an attractive and diverse part of Kent, which brings challenges and opportunities for the Planning Service.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Planning Technical Officers to join the Council’s busy Development Management team. These are full time positions on fixed term contracts for a period of two years.

These roles were originally created as a result of the Mid Kent Planning Support Shared Service which was formed in 2014 to provide central technical and administration support to the Swale and Maidstone Borough Council Planning Departments. The Planning Technical Officer post maintains the link between administration in the Development Management team at Swale and the Planning Support Shared Service based in Maidstone.

The post is also a possible stepping stone into planning as it will have its own caseload of minor planning matters such as certificates of lawful development and pre-application enquiries to deal with. Administration tasks will cover direct support to planning officers on applications, planning committee work and appeals.

The successful applicants will be able to manage their own caseload, carry out a variety of tasks to strict deadlines whilst maintaining accuracy and have the aptitude and desire to learn the skills and knowledge required to determine planning applications.

Customer service will be at the heart of the role and the people skills necessary to liaise with the planning support team, planning officers and external customers will be essential. These are an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the first step into development management and develop the skills necessary to manage case work.

Swale Borough Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and expects all employee and volunteers to share this commitment.

For further information or to discuss this opportunity in more detail, please contact Andrew Jeffers, Development Manager on 01795 417116
