The Planning Team at Staffordshire County Council plays a crucial role in managing planning applications for new developments, including quarries, waste sites, and County Council projects (such as schools and roads). We’re also responsible for maintaining our Minerals and Waste Plans, which guide our decision-making process.

As a key member of our team, you’ll provide essential administrative and technical support to our Development Control and Planning Policy officers. Your tasks will include:

• Using Microsoft 365 based applications (including Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, One Drive and SharePoint), and our planning software system ‘APAS’.
• Checking applications and recording and managing the fees, details, documents and plans using SharePoint and APAS.
• Preparing consultation emails, neighbour letters, site and press notices.
• Managing the reports sent to the Planning Committee Clerk.
• Recording and issuing decisions by notifying the relevant parties.
• Completing government statistical returns on a quarterly basis.
• Providing advice to applicants, Councillors and the general public.

To excel in this role, you’ll need:

• Very good organisational skills as well as experience of learning new ways of working and new IT systems
• Good communication skills because you’ll interact with people in the team, across the organisation and externally by phone, Microsoft Teams, in person and email, and some of them may not understand the planning process
• Confidence, energy, an appreciation of the importance of attention to detail, and that you are analytical with bias for action.
• A flexible approach to work as sometimes priorities can change at short notice e.g. when we need to get a decision out on time.
• Self-motivated and conscientious as you may be expected to work alone to get your job done.

We offer a flexible blend of office and remote work. Most team members split their time approximately 50:50, allowing for an optimal work-life balance. During the initial training period, you’ll work from the office, ensuring a smooth transition. Afterward, regular office attendance will be required for tasks like checking mail and printing letters and notices.
