Join the Network

We are looking for an exceptional graduate to join our growing Strategic Communications team in Northern Ireland.

Are you an enthusiastic and determined individual with a passion for communication, politics and public engagement? Are you looking to apply your enthusiasm for the built environment, property development or planning in a leading consultancy service?

At Turley we believe in shaping better places - and to create great places you must involve people. Turley Strategic Communications focuses on people, and their influence on the planning and place-making process. We lead on community, political and press engagement to shape attitudes, create support and secure planning permission

If you are a motivated individual with a desire to gain critical experience in the development sector, or the communications industry, have a strong interest in political and business news and in the NI development sector, this opportunity could be for you. CIPR membership is desirable, previous communications or consultancy experience (employment or placement) is preferred but not essential. What is important is your ability to learn quickly, and develop relationships whilst working within a highly professional team.

You will support the Strategic Communications team primarily in Belfast but with work across Northern Ireland in attending and supporting public consultation events, stakeholder research as well as assisting with external communications including writing press releases and briefing papers.
Turley is an employee-owned business, operating from thirteen locations and is one of the largest planning consultancies in the UK. We offer an excellent remuneration and flexible benefits package including a non-contributory pension, ownership dividend and performance-related bonus.
