Based in Clitheroe, Ribble Valley Borough Council’s offices are only minutes away from some of the most beautiful countryside in England (most of its 226 square miles are designated areas of National Landscape). We are also just a short commute from Preston and well connected to the national motorway network by both the M6 and M65. Combine this with excellent schools and this offers an attractive setting in which to advance your career.

We are looking for an experienced professional to lead on delivering the new Local Plan for the Borough and to be the strategic lead for our Planning Policy, Economic Development, Partnerships, Tourism and Housing service. You will also be responsible for the day-to-day operational management of the section.

You will have a degree in planning or other relevant discipline and be a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute. In addition, you will have strong leadership skills and a wealth of professional knowledge and expertise.

This is a politically restricted post.

Join us to receive a host of benefits such as flexible working hours (flexitime scheme in operation with no core hours), generous leave entitlement, occupational pension scheme and training/development opportunities.
