Community Planner Jobs in Texas

A Community Planner in the social service industry plays a critical role in analyzing, managing, and implementing strategies for community growth and development. Their primary responsibilities involve assessing the needs of the community, designing and proposing developmental programs, coordinating with different stakeholders, and evaluating the impact of their initiatives. They work closely with urban developers, government officials, and local residents to create a community that provides accessible social services to everyone. These services may include healthcare, education, housing, or transportation.

As for the competencies, a Community Planner should possess excellent analytical, communication, and negotiation skills. They should have a strong understanding of urban planning and social service policies. In terms of education, a degree in Urban Planning, Social Sciences, or a related field is typically required, and certification as a professional planner (AICP) could be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Community Planner, individuals might work in roles such as Urban Planner, Social Services Coordinator, or Community Development Specialist.
