Wednesday 6th & Thursday 7th January 2027 About Camden Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today and we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind.  What You’ll Be Doing / How You’ll Be Involved Camden has produced a bold and ambitious Transport Strategy (CTS), ‘Healthy Streets, Healthy Travel, and Healthy Lives’ - that sets out our vision for transport in the Borough through to 2041.

The Strategy contains seven core objectives which include delivering a sustainable transport system and streets that are inclusive and accessible for all, reducing all road casualties in Camden and progressing towards zero Killed or Seriously Injured, and reducing the impact of transport-based emissions and noise in Camden. We have also produced a new Clean Air Action Plan and Climate Action Plan.

Following the development of these three plans, Camden is pushing forward with a challenging programme of projects in a number of transport planning areas. We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Transport Planner who will play a key part in developing strategic transport policy documents and positions, and associated strategies that relate to smarter, more sustainable travel in Camden.

In particular the role will focus on developing new and updated sustainable transport policies, delivering a range of road safety interventions, the implementation of our freight actions, responding to emerging transport technologies (e.g. automated vehicles), and expand our travel behaviour changes programmes.
