Job Details

We have a brilliant opportunity for a Planning Advisor to join our award winning team (did you know we’re winners of best house at the What House Awards 2018?).  You’ll provide planning input and advice working across the design, development and delivery phases of our new homes pipeline.  You’ll be supporting colleagues across the team advising on planning matters, complex planning issues, responding to Local Planning Authority’s policies/requirements and ensuring we secure positive planning outcomes so we can build our brilliant new homes.

You’ll be working for David, our Head of Design, whose passion for high quality design is only rivalled by his love of sweet treats and fine black coffee. He also has a mild stationary addiction (so bolt down your stuff!). This is a team who put their hearts into making each a house a home that our customer’s will love.  From well-planned spaces to contemporary architecture we design homes that are for living with a wide variety of choice.   

If this is your passion too, then you’ll really fit in here! If you want to do awesome things as part of a brilliant team… join us at Home Group!  You’ll find plenty more about the role in our job description.

It’s a really exciting time to join Home Group!  We are currently undergoing a significant period of growth and change that will enable us to build more homes, independence and aspirations – the vision that underpins our five-year strategy. Our ambition to build 10,000 new homes, be market leaders in New Models of Care and significantly increase our digital capability is in the hands of our brilliant people.

A bit about you

It goes without saying that you’ll have a relevant degree in Town Planning or equivalent and be a member of the RPTI.  With a brilliant knowledge of planning law and procedures, you’ll bring experience of working for another housing provider, developer or local authority.  You'll have a background in planning focusing on residential properties in urban and rural settings.  If you’re solutions focused, intuitively collaborative and a great influencer, then this is the cherry on the cake (or should we say the sold sign on the door!).

A bit about us

We are Home Group, one of the UK’s largest developers of new homes and providers of houses for affordable rent.  We also provide long term integrated housing, health and social care housing.  We are proud of the difference that we have made over the last 80 years and we continue to work hard to support 120,000 customers in 55,000 homes across the UK.  With a turnover of £350m and more than 3000 colleagues, you will be joining a robust, dynamic and inclusive organisation with a strong social mission at its heart.

We’re also a strategic partner of Homes England, working together to disrupt the way we do things across UK housing to build the affordable homes our country needs.  

Oh, did we mention that we rank No. 27 in the UK’s Best Large Places to work and are winners of Development Programme of the Year 2018 at the Housing Awards and of course winners of Best House at the What House Awards 2018?

Working flexibly

It’s the team’s unwritten rule that you attend the important appointments in life, be it your child’s school play, your partner’s graduation, or to get your new fridge delivered. You can elect to fit these around your working day taking advantage of our agile ways of working. Our focus is on getting the job done, not your working hours!

What’s on offer?

There’s lots!  Including: competitive salaries, performance related pay, a contributory occupational money-purchase pension scheme with life assurance, 25 days paid holiday a year rising by 1 day per year up to 30 days, with the ability to purchase an extra 5 days, salary sacrifice schemes including cycle, car and technology, heavily discounted AA membership, gyms and savings on high street stores, holidays and restaurants amongst many others.

Company

There’s never been a more exciting time to join us, as we build and sell over 10,000 new homes across the UK.  From affordable housing to our brilliant private sale brand Persona, we’re shaking up the new build market.  You’ll have the opportunity to work on everything from affordable homes to luxury apartments and build the career you want with us. 

As one of the UK’s largest developers of new homes and providers of houses for affordable rent.  We also provide long term integrated health and social care housing.  We don’t just build houses, we build homes and develop vibrant communities where people want to live. 

What keeps us busy?

We’re building homes, independence and aspirations and according to our trophy cabinet we’re pretty good at it! 

We’re winners of the 2018 UK Housing Awards Development Programme of the Year, Silver Best House at the What House Awards 2018, and RESI Landlord of the Year 2016.  We’re constantly challenging the status quo, delivering unparalleled schemes and ground-breaking products.  We pride ourselves on building happier, healthy homes, putting space and people before profits.

Oh and did we mentioned that we rank No. 27 in the UK’s Best Large Places to work, and 17th in Stonewall Top 100 Employers 2019?    

We’re growing

As we’re building new homes, we’re growing our team too so there are lots of opportunities for you to join us across the UK.  So whether you’re acquiring land, designing places, delivering schemes, selling homes or regenerating neighbourhoods.  You’ll be working alongside brilliant people to unlock bold opportunities, exciting new partnerships and collaborative projects across the UK.
