Associate Town Planner (Policy)

Principal / Associate Policy Planner (Town Planning) Multiple UK Office Locations | Hybrid Working

An employee-owned consultancy is seeking to appoint a Principal / Associate Policy Planner following a significant growth in workload within its policy and plan-making team.


About the Role

The position was approved due to increasing demand across recent projects, presenting a unique opportunity to join a well-established team supporting Local Planning Authorities across the UK.

What makes this opportunity distinct is its values-led culture, where organisational values shape both the employee experience and the types of projects undertaken. Many senior leaders began their careers in junior roles, and long-term career progression is encouraged.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
