Planning Administrators - Why You Should Apply

An extra day off every month: This Planning Administrator role comes with an industry-leading flexitime scheme. After probation, you earn an extra day off every month. That's up to 12 extra days a year, plus 32 days' holiday, for family, hobbies, or a long weekend away.

Learn from people who've done it: You won't be dropped in at the deep end. The manager you report to has done this exact job. The training and support are genuinely there when you need them.

Perks that save real money: An electric vehicle lease scheme at reduced cost, plus a nursery support scheme that can save you thousands a year, and a health cash plan covering dental, optical and physio.

A varied, connected role: You'll be the go-to point of contact across the whole site. One minute you're out on the shop floor, the next you're talking orders with customer service and purchasing.
