Join us in championing the power of planning
Planning is everywhere right now - housing, high streets, transport, climate action. If you're as passionate about these issues as we are, we'd love you to join our team and help us connect with planners who are shaping our communities every day.
About The RTPI
We champion planning that creates inclusive, sustainable places where communities thrive. Our 27,000+ members worldwide trust us to support their careers, shape policy, and maintain the highest professional standards. We're the only UK body that awards Chartered status to planners - and we're proud of the difference our members make.
What You'll Do
You'll be the beating heart of our North West region, connecting members and building our planning community. Working closely with our volunteer committee, you'll help deliver our strategy through events that inspire, educate and bring people together.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your key responsibilities include:
- Supporting the retention and growth of membership across the region.
- Developing strong relationships with members and stakeholders.
- Managing regional events that strengthen our membership base.
- Delivering CPD programmes that advance careers.
- Creating networking opportunities that spark collaboration.
- Supporting our volunteer committees who make everything possible.
- Communicating with members, stakeholders and partners across the region.
What We're Looking For
You're someone who gets things done with a smile. You have solid event management experience and strong IT skills, plus the ability to juggle multiple priorities without breaking a sweat. Most importantly, you genuinely care about delivering great experiences for our members.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- Event management experience that shows you can bring people together.
- Strong communication skills and a natural customer focus.
- The ability to influence and inspire others.
- Comfort with marketing and events platforms.
- An interest in planning or the built environment (helpful but not essential).
- Event marketing qualifications (a bonus, not a must-have).
