Join our team
Thanks for your interest in joining Ebbsfleet Development Corporation.
We’re leading one of the most exciting and pioneering regeneration projects in recent decades – the first Garden City in 100 years on the Kent Thames riverside. As the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation reaches a critical stage in its journey, we’re now looking for ambitious and forward-thinking individuals to help us deliver our vision of a 21st-century Garden City that works for people and the planet. Located just 20 minutes from central London, Ebbsfleet brings together a network of individual neighbourhoods, each with its own carefully designed character. Over time, it will grow into one of the South East’s leading places to live and work, and we’re looking for passionate people to join our growing team and play a big part in shaping the regeneration of Ebbsfleet.
Current opportunities
Planning Committee Independent Member (2 x roles)
This is a fantastic opportunity to support the regeneration of Ebbsfleet. Planning Committee Independent Members provide support to the Corporation’s decision making on planning applications in the area, and are looking for two more members to join the Committee. The Committee requires a mix of skills and experience in areas relating to decision making but this does not necessarily need to be in the field of Town Planning.
In order to maximise the skills and experience of the committee, the Corporation is seeking to fill two roles:
One committee member with a planning or development background.
One committee member with a knowledge of the local area and the issues and opportunities it offers – no planning experience necessary.
All members of the Planning Committee will be required to undertake specific training and shall be mindful of the guidance set out in the Planning Advisory Service publication ‘Probity in planning for councillors and officers’ and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government publication ‘Openness and transparency on personal interests’.
