Town Planner / Senior Town Planner

Banbury (Oxfordshire) Hybrid Working

Full-Time Permanent

The Opportunity

An established, independent planning consultancy is looking to appoint a Town Planner or Senior Town Planner to join its head office team in Banbury.

This highly regarded consultancy specialises in securing planning permission across complex and often contentious development projects. Acting for a broad client base including developers, landowners, corporates and public sector bodies, the team is known for driving projects forward and delivering results in challenging planning environments.

With a strong pipeline of work nationwide and a reputation for handling high-profile schemes, this is an excellent opportunity to join a commercially focused and dynamic planning team.

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.
