Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life

- Confucius

When Squires Planning was established in 2019 by Andrew (our Director) he had the objective of creating a collaborative team of planners who have the potential to take on any challenge a client may throw at us. Since then, the company has been steadily growing to fulfil that aspiration and has built a brand that represents excellence, quality, and innovation in the profession.

We recognise the value of our people, offering excellent salaries, bonuses linked to company profit, continued professional advancement, and regular salary reviews. We want to see our people develop and thrive, both away from work as well as whilst at work. To that end we actively support our people in achieving their personal and professional objectives. We are set up so that we can work from wherever, providing flexibility, but have an office where everyone is welcome and can collaborate.

Our commitment to those we employ is to…
  1. Give you a great degree of autonomy, helping you follow your professional (and where possible personal) interests. 
  2. Ensure you have the training and skills you need to succeed and be the best at what you do. 
  3. Create an inclusive and supportive work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, connected, and has a desire to work collaboratively to achieve great things.


Alongside the normal stuff like a great salary, holiday allowance, professional subs & pension contributions, you will get:

  • Zero excess private healthcare - full time staff get Vitality healthcare, including optical and dental cover, and access to a range of perks such as cinema tickets and free drinks at Café Nero. 
  • Paid for socials - you don't have to come, but everyone does.
  • Birthday Leave - take your birthday off each year in addition to normal annual leave entitlement, to ensure that you can celebrate it properly.
  • Christmas Shutdown - don't work from Christmas to the New Year, with the Directors gifting you up to two days off in addition to normal annual leave entitlement over this period.
  • Funded training/CPD - ensuring you stay up to date.
  • Company Credit Card - if you would like one, to avoid business expenses being paid by yourself and then reclaimed. 
  • Profit share scheme - if the company does well, so do you.
