Graduate Town Planner

Graduate Town Planner

Winchester. Private Planning Consultancy | £28,000-£32,000

I’m currently working with a highly regarded independent planning consultancy based in Winchester that is looking to hire a Graduate Planner to join their close-knit team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at graduate level or with up to 6 months’ experience who is looking to build their career within a supportive consultancy environment where training, development, and work/life balance are genuinely valued.

The business is looking for the following:

• A Planning graduate (RTPI‑accredited degree preferred)
• Someone with up to 6 months’ professional experience
• Ideally some exposure to consultancy work
• A motivated individual they can train and develop long term

This is a full‑time position with an expectation of 4 days per week in the Winchester office.

This is a small, well‑established team who pride themselves on maintaining a positive and balanced working culture. They are not a "high‑pressure corporate" environment and are very open about wanting people who value the following:

• Work/life balance
• Honesty and fairness
• Collaboration and team fit
• A genuinely supportive atmosphere

Dogs are regularly in the office, so candidates must be comfortable around them.

The right person will:

• Be personable and down to earth
• Have taken the time to understand the company and their projects
• Enjoy being part of a small team environment
• Be motivated, curious, and eager to learn

• Salary: £28,000‑£32,000 depending on experience
• Ideally candidates will already hold a Master's qualification, although the company may support part‑time study alongside work
• Relocation candidates are less preferred unless they already have friends/family/connections in the area due to the team's independent lifestyle culture
