The successful candidate will have a case load of enforcement cases, planning applications, appeals and requests for planning advice.  There will be opportunities to present applications at Planning Committee.

You will be enthusiastic, motivated and have some experience of processing planning applications.

In return, we can offer a competitive salary, generous annual leave, flexible working and the opportunity to work remotely. We will offer you the opportunity and support to develop your planning knowledge and progress your career.

Wokingham Borough Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff, other workers and volunteers to share this commitment.
