The Role
Are you an experienced administrator looking for a new challenge? Are you starting your career with a particular interest in planning and environmental issues?
We are looking for a Planning Support Officer who can assist across the Council’s planning services. This is a new role that will provide efficient, professional and high-quality administrative support to managers and team leaders across a wide range of projects and duties.
This will include diary management and meeting organisation, taking accurate notes of meetings, helping with the organisation of planning appeals or workshops, preparing materials, updating web pages and supporting with financial and other administration.
The Experience you will bring
You may already have previous experience of assistant or administration roles. However, this position could also suit candidates who have recently left education with a particular interest in sustainable development, planning or the environment and who wish to gain experience in this sector.
Whatever your background, you will be a good organiser with the ability to work to deadlines, prioritise tasks and use your own initiative and research to identify solutions. You will be confident working with other people and using common IT applications such as Microsoft Office. You will pay attention to detail to take notes and keep accurate records. You enjoy working within teams and frequently helping different groups of people on a variety of tasks.
You will be flexible and willing to occasionally attend meetings and workshops outside of normal office hours to help ensure they run smoothly.
About Us
North Hertfordshire is a large rural district with approximately 125,000 residents with four historic towns, Hitchin, Baldock, Royston and Letchworth Garden City. The Council has a clear vision: We put people first and deliver sustainable services, to enable a brighter future together.
Why work with us?
We are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in our recruitment practices and in our employment policies. We want our employees to feel safe to express themselves and we encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of talents. We are dedicated to promoting a healthy work/life balance, valuing our employees, and enabling them to make a difference to the local community.
Please note that all our vacancies require you to live and work in the UK, and selection interviews are face to face in our Letchworth offices or other nearby council sites.
At North Herts Council we are proud to be a Disability Confident employer and we guarantee an interview to anyone disclosing a disability whose application meets the minimum requirements for the job.
If you would like an informal chat about the post, you can contact Nigel Smith, Director: Place on 01462 474847 or Sam Dicocco, Major Sites Team Leader on 01462 474169
Closing Date: Noon Monday 29 September 2025
