We are looking for a part-time Planning Support Officer to join our Systems Team and help deliver the Council's Local Land Charges service. The information we provide plays an important role in the home-buying process and supports thousands of property transactions every year.
Experience of Local Land Charges work would be welcomed, but more importantly we are looking for someone who:
- is a motivated self-starter who enjoys taking ownership of their work
- can manage a varied and deadline-driven workload
- is keen to learn new skills and technologies
- enjoys identifying opportunities to improve and develop services
- is committed to delivering excellent customer service
- works well both independently and as part of a supportive team
This role is ideal for someone seeking a meaningful and rewarding part-time position with flexibility around working patterns and days. We recognise that many talented people are looking for roles that fit around other commitments, and we are happy to agree working arrangements with the successful candidate.
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.
