Objective of Role
Wandsworth and Richmond Councils have an exciting opportunity within the Information and Planning Obligations Team administering CIL and S106. We are recruiting a Senior CIL and S106 Officer to join the team.
There is a variety of different types and scale of development in Richmond and Wandsworth, from the iconic Battersea Power Station and the Ram Brewery to small residential extensions. This role works across both Councils, with an extensive CIL and S106 caseload with a focus on administering S106 agreements that relate to development.
Developer contributions collected ensure necessary infrastructure to support Local Plan priorities can be delivered, whilst planning obligations ensure site specific mitigation of the impacts of new development for the benefit of residents, businesses and the local community.
We are positive and ambitious – When you join us, you’ll apply the same approach.
About The Role
You will work on a range of case work from householder applications to high profile developments across both Boroughs, providing comprehensive professional advice to colleagues and Senior Managers, and liaising with developers and residents with a focus on administering S106 agreements that relate to development.
You will have responsibility for ensuring the Council complies with legislative requirements in monitoring S106 planning obligations, providing supervision of day to day tasks of the team to ensure delivery of an excellent service. You will ensure the Councils comply with reporting requirements and internal performance management targets, working to agreed and identifiable timescales.
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.
