Jobs

Based in Clitheroe, Ribble Valley Borough Council’s offices are only minutes away from some of the most beautiful countryside in England (most of its 226 square miles are designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). We are also just a short commute from Preston and well connected to the national motorway network by both the M6 and M65.

We are looking for an Assistant Planning Officer to join our Development Management team and assist with the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP).

HARP is a scheme to replace sections of the Haweswater Pipeline with two sections of the replacement pipelines in the Ribble Valley. Both sections have full planning permission, and the development is expected to commence in 2026.

This is an excellent opportunity for somebody new to Planning to get involved in a major infrastructure project and will provide an excellent insight into all elements of a Local Authority Development Management team.
Join us to receive a host of benefits such as flexible working hours (flexitime scheme in operation), generous leave entitlement, occupational pension scheme and training/development opportunities.
