Looking for a short-term contract or wanting to get back into planning? This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for
Like many organisations, the Department is often faced with temporary skills shortages. We're hoping to access members of the planning community with significant experience and skills who may not be needing permanent employment, and are possibly returning to work after an extended break. We are hoping to meet our shared needs with a range of temporary placements best suited to experienced planners.
If you have worked as a planner in a senior position in the past, or have a broad range of experience in planning matters we would love to hear from you.
Opportunities through this process will not exceed 6 months at any given time and you may be considered for employment within the next 2 years. There are always temporary vacancies in the Department, and we are hoping to fill some of the gaps by the use of fixed term contracts. Presently, there are various planning positions that may suit you, including:
