Overview

My client is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Travel Plan Coordinator / Assistant to join a growing transport and planning consultancy. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in delivering travel plans that promote sustainable travel behaviour and meet planning obligations.

Most importantly, my client is seeking someone who is:

• Passionate about sustainability and behaviour change.
• Motivated to make a meaningful impact.
• Eager to learn and grow within the role.

Benefits

• Competitive salary ranging from £27,000 to £42,000, depending on experience.
• Flexible hybrid working arrangement (initially office-based for onboarding, transitioning to 2 days WFH).
• Opportunity to work in a supportive and collaborative team environment.
• Professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and career growth.
• The chance to contribute to meaningful projects that promote sustainability and positive change.

Day-to-Day

Your typical day will involve:

• Analysing data and preparing reports to support travel plan initiatives.
• Creating engaging materials to promote sustainable travel options.

As a Travel Plan Coordinator, you will:

• Support the delivery of travel plans for new developments, ensuring compliance with planning obligations.
• Coordinate planning-related documentation to meet local authority requirements.
• Engage with stakeholders to promote sustainable travel options and behaviour change initiatives.
• Assist in encouraging the use of public transport, cycling, walking, and other sustainable travel modes.
• Produce high-quality reports and materials for client submissions and internal use.

This role requires a combination of technical understanding, organisational skills, and effective communication, rather than being purely analytical or design-focused.

Qualifications

• Some experience or understanding of the UK planning system and planned conditions.
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.
• Proficiency in using Excel for data handling.
• Exposure to Adobe tools (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) for report production (beneficial but not essential).
