Planning & Development Officer
Yorkshire and Humber Drainage Boards represent 8 public flood risk management authorities. Our work reduces flood risk to thousands of residents, businesses, property, and infrastructure. We operate 81 pumping stations, maintain over 800 miles of watercourses and rivers that drain over 360 square miles. We represent one of the largest groups of flood risk management authorities in the country.
As the land drainage authority for a large part of the region we have an important role in ensuring that developers and others carry out their activities within a regulatory framework, so they do not increase flood risk. We work with 8 local planning authorities, and through the town and country planning process we try to ensure developers meet their obligations; obligations which are ultimately secured through the land drainage consent process.
The successful candidate will be a confident and motivated individual with excellent communication skills. Experience is desirable but not essential as training will be given.
The role comes with a competitive annual salary ranging from £25,932 to £35,532 (depending on experience). Admission (or continued membership) of the Local Government Pension Scheme, generous annual leave and 3 additional discretionary days.
The post is based at the Boards Offices at Howden.
