We recognise that success lies within our people, so if you have the ambition, skills and experience we are looking for, you are inspired by our vision, and you believe you can make a difference then we’d love to hear from you.  We are looking for someone to join our multi-disciplinary Environment Team to actively contribute to the delivery of national and local conservation targets.

You will be expected to provide expert ecology advice, guidance, and information to internal and external stakeholders on planning schemes and proposals as well as research, evaluate and prepare recommendation reports that contribute to the formation of local planning policy. In addition you will support and work with partner organisations including the voluntary sector to promote habitat conservation and healthy open spaces.

The ideal candidate will be a strong team player, who possesses excellent communication, customer focus, and time management skills. You must be able to manage your own workload, regularly reviewing and prioritising as necessary. The post holder will work with team leaders and managers to develop and promote services, and deliver projects that generate income, streamline processes, and generate efficiencies.

In return we offer a flexible working environment as well as training and development opportunities to extend your existing skill set. For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Gareth Bird, Environment Team Manager, Regulatory Services via recruitment@aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk

On Monday 12 March it was announced by the government that the five councils in Buckinghamshire (including Aylesbury Vale District Council) may become a single unitary. Further details regarding the minister’s ‘minded to’ decision are available on our website – https://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/modernising-local-government
Any changes made to the structure of local authorities in the county may affect council employees in the future but we do not anticipate any immediate impact. Changes are likely to take a period of time and will not affect all areas of the council.
