Voluntary roles – Policy Council members (up to two) 

Town and Country Planning Association 

Please note that these are voluntary positions (no salary) but reasonable travel expenses will be paid 

The built and natural environment have profound impacts on the health and wellbeing of people and the environment. We believe therefore that our work is more important than ever. 

To help support and inform that work, we have a Policy Council. We are currently looking to broaden the skills and range of perspectives on the Council.  

About you:

You do not need to be an expert in town planning – it is more important that you believe in the importance of the work we do. But, to help strengthen the range of expertise and perspectives on the Policy Council we are particularly interested in people with relevant experience in, or policy knowledge of, one or more of the following areas:  

  • Healthy place-making 
  • Planning law and parliamentary processes 
  • Affordable housing 
  • Economic development, investment and/or viability 
  • Heritage 
  • Energy efficiency, building design and retrofit  

Inclusion is a core value of our organisation and we are passionate about promoting diversity and representation in our Association. We positively encourage applications regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender identification, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.  

To find out more about the TCPA and how to express your interest in these roles please see the recruitment pack below. 

Expressions of interest should be received by midday on Friday 3 October.
