This should include the use and development of information technology systems to deliver and improve local authority planning services.

However, you will also be a key player in the maintenance and development of the Information Technology Systems used to support the delivery of the Planning and Land Charges services. The supervision of team members administering elements of the Council’s Right to Buy service will be an aspect of the role.
Working knowledge of Idox Cloud Planning (formerly Tascomi) and Cadcorp GIS systems will be a strong advantage, but knowledge of comparable systems will be considered.
Recognising the diversity of the skills and experience sought in this post holder, applications will be welcomed from candidates that have some, but not necessarily all elements of pre-existing experience. The ability to evidence that you have potential to acquire the required full skillsets and knowledge will be considered.
We’d love to hear from you if you’re a strong team player with good communication and excellent organisational skills, who seeks rewarding varied work and the responsibility of delivering these important statutory services at North Warwickshire.
The Council offers an excellent employment package with flexible working, including remote working opportunities, Local Government pension scheme and generous annual leave entitlement.
