About the service
Cardiff is one of the fastest growing and most highly-skilled cities in Britain, and the Planning team plays a key role in delivering and managing the growth of the city. As Wales’ capital city, it’s also an amazing place to live, which makes it easy to find a great work-life balance.
About the job
We are looking for two experienced, enthusiastic and motivated people to join our team as Group Leaders; either in our Strategic DM & Placemaking, or Non Strategic DM teams. You will be part of a team of outstanding, and very friendly, officers who are committed to delivering the highest quality of development and making Cardiff a truly excellent city. Why not come and join us?
We would welcome applications for one or both of the roles, but would love the chance to show you how you can become a valued Member of the team as a whole. You will have a qualification and experience in town planning, good communication skills and will be able to manage multiple priorities.
The main office base for the job is County Hall, a short walk from the beautiful Cardiff Bay, however we have embraced the benefits of hybrid home-office working. You will also be given the necessary management and team support, flexible working, peer review and skill sharing to enable you to successfully undertake your role and develop professionally.
What We Are Looking For From You
You will manage a busy and varied caseload of applications, with the ‘Strategic’ role having a particular emphasis on high profile residential, commercial and city centre applications with a significant design component.
The “non strategic” Team consider over 2000 applications a year, where your contribution can add significant value across the city.
Full details of the post’s duties and responsibilities can be found within the Job Brochure.
