About Us:

These are exciting times for Hart, particularly for the Development Management (DM) team. Our DM Manager came into post in 2021 and we are now growing the management capacity in our team. We have ambitious plans to improve our service delivery plus exciting major and heritage developments on the horizon.

We are looking for three Team Leaders to manage development management including enforcement and heritage. The split of direct reports will vary between the teams. Planning is firmly at the heart of the Council’s vision to 2040 and we’re consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the UK.

We're a small local authority with big ambition. We want to do things bigger, bolder, and better than we have before. Our Council is small enough for you to be able to see the direct impact and influence you can have through your day-to-day work and know the names of your colleagues. You will also notice that you get to see the faces of our Senior Leadership and Chief Executives on a regular basis.

At Hart, we work together to shape the environment for the people in our district and we listen to suggestions and contributions from staff at all levels to improve the way we do this.   

We’re the place to grow your planning career, come and see for yourself how we empower and develop our staff. The work we have at Hart is diverse and challenging, you can develop your skills and work as part of a friendly and committed team. 

This is a permanent position

Interview date: Interviews are scheduled to be held on site at Hart District Council Offices w/b 20^th February 2023
