Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) is passionate about providing high-quality services to our communities, residents, and businesses. This means we must employ and retain the most talented and dedicated people.
Situated within the heart of the Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, Huntingdonshire is a beautiful district that boasts thriving market towns and many attractive villages, each with its own identity. We are an innovative and forward-thinking local authority whose residents are at the heart of our decision-making.
At HDC we want to employ staff who embody our icare values (Inspiring, Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Enterprising), all of which support our ultimate purpose of putting our customers first.
Job Details
Are you looking for an opportunity to support sustainable growth and help shape the future of Huntingdonshire? We are seeking an organised and motivated Implementation Officer to join our Planning Services team and play a key role in managing developer contributions that fund vital infrastructure across the district.
About The Role
As an Implementation Officer, you will lead on the administration and monitoring of developer contributions, with a particular focus on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). You will manage CIL cases, maintain accurate records, issue notices and invoices, monitor payments, and ensure compliance with relevant legislation and procedures.
- Working closely with colleagues across Planning, Finance, Legal Services, and other council teams, you will help monitor Section 106 agreements, provide advice to developers, agents, and residents, and support the collection and reporting of infrastructure funding.
- You will also contribute to the production of the Council’s annual Infrastructure Funding Statement and help ensure funding is effectively managed to support local communities and future development.
This is a varied role that combines technical administration, financial monitoring, and stakeholder engagement, offering the opportunity to develop specialist expertise within a supportive and collaborative team.

About You
- You will have experience in a regulatory, administrative, or finance-related environment and be confident working with detailed information and established processes.
- You will be highly organised, methodical, and able to manage your workload effectively while maintaining a high level of accuracy. A degree, or equivalent relevant experience, is essential.
- You will be a strong communicator with the ability to explain complex information clearly and build positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Excellent customer service skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to problem solving will help you succeed in this role.
- Knowledge of planning processes, developer contributions, or Community Infrastructure Levy regulations would be advantageous, but just as important is your willingness to learn, adaptability, and commitment to delivering excellent public services.
If you are looking for a role where you can develop specialist knowledge, work collaboratively across services, and make a meaningful contribution to sustainable growth in Huntingdonshire, we would love to hear from you.
