We're looking for two student/trainee planners to join our Planning service for their placement year as part of their undergraduate course. This post is not for those who have already graduated.

The placement will involve working in both Development Management and Development Planning so you would get a range of experience and be an integral member our planning service.

Within Development Management, you would have your own application caseload and deal with a variety of applications. In Development Planning, you would be involved in preparing the next local development plan: City Plan 2040.

You will be fully trained and supported. We are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our Council priorities are to end poverty by 2030, become a net zero city, and enhance wellbeing and equalities for all. Our City Plan 2030 project sets out challenging aims on quality of place, resilience to climate change, 20-minute neighbourhoods, net zero development and more. We are Scotland's busiest planning authority, handling over 3,000 applications a year in a city with internationally valued built and natural heritage.

We work in a hybrid environment under the Council's new Working Flexibly guidance, which will see us using our modern open-plan offices in Edinburgh city centre, 5 minutes' walk from Waverley Rail Station.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
