Senior Regeneration and Infrastructure Delivery Officer

About Castle Point:

We are serious at Castle Point about creating places where people are proud to live, and which are successful. We are therefore embarking on a programme of work that puts place-making at the heart of what we do. This means that the preparation of a local plan (the Castle Point Plan) and economic development are key priorities for the Council.

However, we don’t want to undertake this work in isolation. We want to work with the community through broad and effective engagement to shape our plans for the borough, and for partners to have a key say in how places grow and change so that everything that affects the quality of places and outcomes for local people is addressed.

We already have strong partnership arrangements with key partners and through our regeneration partnership in place and will be looking to strengthen those partnership arrangements as we move forward. As part of our approach, we are already working closely with Essex County Council and other partners to identify opportunities to deliver Levelling Up within the Borough through town centre, community and cultural regeneration.

We are also a key and active partner in the Association of South Essex Local Authorities, which have programme around joint working on skills and economic development, green infrastructure, transport infrastructure and housing. We want to ensure that these programmes benefit the residents and businesses of Castle Point.

To achieve our ambitions for place-making, engagement and partnership working we are creating a strong multi-disciplinary team of individuals who will each have a key role to play in preparing and delivering the Castle Point Plan and associated policies and projects including proposals for Levelling Up. 

If you share our ambitions and would like to join our team, there is a role for you.
