Planning Officer

The Strategic Alliance between High Peak Borough Council and Staffordshire Moorlands District Council has been in place for more than a decade – the Councils share a workforce delivering services to two distinct areas with their own corporate plans and priorities. The sheer variety of work is a factor that’s often mentioned as a big plus by our staff in terms of professional development. While we’ve achieved a lot there’s still much to do so it’s the perfect time to be joining us.

 

The Alliance is nationally recognised for its heritage regeneration programme and works closely with the Peak District National Park Authority.
