Senior Transport & Development Planner

Role Responsibility

Kent is an exciting and rewarding place to work. We are one of the biggest county councils, serving a population of over a million people, and the Transport & Development team is at the forefront of guiding the way in which new developments can come forward to deliver jobs and housing as part of our sustainable growth ambition for Kent.

An opportunity has arisen in our team as a Senior Transport and Development Planner for Tunbridge Wells and assisting with other West Kent districts. This is a permanent position at grade KR10 (£36,866 to £43,011). You will be supported to work flexibly from home and at KCC and other council offices. Your main responsibilities will include advising on the transport aspects of development sites and planning applications, securing funding and coordinating the delivery of schemes. This is an exciting role for a motivated transport and development planner looking to broaden their experience working on delivering transport initiatives as part of a supportive team.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.
