Town Planner

Town Planner - Consultancy Role | Kent

I'm working with a well-established, independent planning consultancy in Kent that is looking to appoint a Town Planner to support its growing workload across residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.

This is an excellent opportunity for a planner who wants real responsibility, client exposure, and the chance to progress within a supportive and professional environment.

You'll be involved in the full planning process, including:

• Preparing and managing planning applications and appeals

• Undertaking site appraisals and planning research

• Providing clear planning advice to clients and project teams

• Liaising with local authorities, stakeholders and consultants

• Supporting senior planners on more complex schemes

The workload is varied and offers genuine scope to broaden your experience.

My client is open to speaking with planners at different stages of their career, but ideally you will have:

• A degree (or postgraduate qualification) in Town Planning or a related field

• An understanding of the UK planning system (private or public sector experience welcome)

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• A proactive, organised approach and confidence dealing with clients

• RTPI membership or working towards it (desirable, not essential)

• Competitive salary, depending on experience

• Clear progression and mentoring from experienced planners

• Exposure to a wide range of planning projects

• Friendly, close-knit consultancy environment

• Hybrid/flexible working arrangements

If you're a Town Planner based in or willing to commute to Kent, and you're looking for a role where your input genuinely matters, I'd be keen to discuss this opportunity in confidence on (phone number removed) and forward your CV to (url removed)
