Work
As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
What you’ll do at work
This apprenticeship is a fantastic opportunity to get a head start on a planning career by combining work and university. It is also suitable for anyone looking for a change of career.
The opportunity is to provide support to the planning team, primarily researching planning policies, planning histories and other planning applications, as well as looking at site reviews and appraisals for clients. This research will be written up into reports to form the basis of advice to clients and the content of planning applications. As the apprentice develops, there will be opportunities to attend meetings with clients and local authorities and to prepare and submit minor planning applications.
The long term potential is for that individual to become a Chartered Town Planner themselves, having developed their skills working within a market leading team. The individual would be client facing over time and therefore communication and interpersonal skills are very important. An outgoing, sociable and presentable individual is required. They need to be proactive and confident.
The individual will be located in the Bristol office.
We would love to hear from you if you are:
- An ambitious individual who wants the opportunity to develop a life-long career
- Passionate about delivering a sustainable future and making a positive impact in the delivery of planning projects
- An enthusiastic team player who thrives by collaborating with others, as well as working well independently
- A keen learner who is comfortable tackling new challenges in a fun and fast-paced environment
- A motivated solution finder who shows good attention to detail
