About Toynbee Hall

Based in the East End of London since 1884, Toynbee Hall is a charity working alongside people facing poverty, injustice, and inequality to build a fairer East London. We provide vital advice and support, working in partnership to tackle unfairness and ensure everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

We have recently launched a new strategic plan which reinforces that our purpose is to build a fairer future with an end to poverty, injustice and inequality.

We work towards this by:

• Addressing poverty and injustice through advice and support and influencing systemic change.
• Shifting power to people and communities affected by injustice and inequality.
• Collaborating to end poverty and build fairer systems and institutions. What we want to see in the world starts with our community and our organisation.

This means:

• Working together to build a thriving local community where people have the resources they need, feel their voices are heard and are optimistic about the future.
• Being a good employer, where people are treated fairly, feel engaged and empowered, and work together to achieve our shared vision.
• Acknowledging the role Toynbee Hall has historically played in civic society while recognising that our role now is to shift power, to be an effective partner, and to amplify voices that are less likely to be heard.

What we learn from our work in east London we use to inform and influence wider policy – working to influence change in structures, systems and policies.

Planning Policy Officer

Salary: £35,358 per annum
Location: Old Street, N1 7NH. Most office-based staff work hybrid, working part of the time in the office and part of the time at home.

This is a very exciting time for CPRE, with a change of government offering an opportunity to effectively advocate for the countryside, building on the success of our recent Rooftop Solar Revolution and Rural Affordable Housing campaigns and planning for our upcoming centenary in 2026.

We are looking for a keen planner with excellent communication skills to join our Policy and Advocacy Team to help us continue to effectively influence national planning policy and legislation and provide expert planning support and advice. This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to gain planning policy experience and make a real difference advocating for countryside friendly solutions to the biggest threats facing rural England today.

At CPRE no two days are the same. On a day-to-day basis you may be helping to produce research and analysis relating to key policy asks using Geographic Information System (GIS) software; writing planning blogs or explainers with colleagues; joining calls with external stakeholders, MPs and civil servants, helping to communicate CPRE policy positions; working with our members and the CPRE network to provide planning support; and helping to respond to government consultations on a wide range of relevant topics.

You will primarily work with the planning policy manager, head of policy and planning and campaigns lead; however, there will be plenty of opportunities to gain experience in other areas by working closely with colleagues in other departments. An ability to work with a broad range of people from different disciplines is essential. 

As we are a federated charity, you will also be involved in providing support to our network through planning support meetings, Policy and Campaigns committee meetings, induction sessions for planning volunteers, and other network events.

Alongside day-to-day work, there are lots of opportunities to get involved in other aspects of the organisation including the CPRE Allyship Group, the centenary planning group and staff social group. We enjoy opportunities to come together as often as we can with weekly team meetings, monthly anchor days and twice-yearly staff conferences.

We are committed to developing an inclusive and diverse CPRE in which everyone feels supported, valued, and always able to be themselves at work, because we recognise that a diverse and inclusive workforce is important in achieving our vision of a thriving, beautiful countryside for everyone. We therefore welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
