We have a great opportunity for a part time Landscape Architect to join the council’s Natural
Environment Team. The role includes the ability to work from home and we operate a flexible
working arrangement. We are seeking an experienced landscape architect who is Chartered or
working towards Chartership and is looking to further their career in local government. 

Your focus will be split between landscape planning and project delivery. One part of the job
involves designing and implementing hard and soft landscape improvements to a range of our
sites including parks, open spaces, residential areas and town centre locations, delivering
attractive, well considered schemes that have a positive impact on people’s quality of life.
Managing all aspects of projects from concept to completion, you’ll get involved with community
consultations, concept proposals, detailed designs, tenders and contract administration of
works on site.

In addition, you will be providing expert landscape advice to colleagues in the Development
Management and Planning Policy Teams in order to help shape current planning applications and
future development within the borough. 

As part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside ecologists, tree officers and parks officers,
there will be the opportunity to work closely with these and other officers across the council.
This will give you the chance to share ideas, broaden your knowledge and become our expert in
this area, bringing the latest thinking on current trends and best practice in landscape
architecture.

You will be joining a bold and innovative organisation that has big ambitions for the borough
and for our staff. We do things differently here. We go beyond expectations to nurture and
develop our communities and our colleagues as we shape an exciting future for Basingstoke and
Deane.

You will have good communication and project management skills and whilst experience of
community consultations would be ideal, what really matters is that you are genuinely
enthusiastic about shaping the spaces that people love using.

In return, we’ll provide all the support you need to develop your career with us. There will
also be the possibility of mentoring.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council offer a wide range of benefits, including a generous
leave entitlement, access to discounts at nationwide retailers through our ‘B Rewarded’
discount site, flexible working, healthcare cash plan, pension scheme and much more.

The council signs up to the Disability Confident scheme (formerly known as the ‘Two
Ticks’ scheme). If you have declared a disability on the application form we can guarantee you
an interview if you meet the essential criteria for the job.
