There’s something special about working for Nottinghamshire Police. We have a unique culture where people convert their passion into action and are trusted, supported and empowered to take responsibility to do the right thing.
We work closely with all of our communities across Nottinghamshire and our partners to ensure they have trust and confidence in all that we do.
To achieve this, the force has a dedicated workforce of just over 4,200 officers and staff, who are supported by a growing number of special constables, cadets and volunteers.
Internationally famous for Sherwood Forest, home of the Robin Hood legend, the principle of serving and protecting our communities remains just as true as it did back then.
By providing dedicated policing services for the city of Nottingham and our county we ensure that our officers are visible in the communities they serve, and through our Prevention Hub we actively develop practical solutions to prevent crime and disorder and keep the public safe.
Located in the heart of England, the county is renowned for its sporting roots including Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, the Motorpoint Arena, Meadow Lane – home to Notts County, and the City Ground – home to Nottingham Forest.
With two universities, the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, and Nottingham College (the second largest in Europe), the city is also home to many students.
As an employer of choice, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce, which will contribute towards building further trust and confidence across communities within Nottinghamshire. We actively take positive action to support underrepresented groups, ensuring equal opportunities for all. Our approach includes fair recruitment practices and support to help individuals overcome barriers to employment.
Nottinghamshire Police has a well-established wellbeing programme, ensuring that you are supported in everything you do. This includes our welfare services, Occupational Health team and police officer and staff support networks for underrepresented groups including our Race, Faith, Disability, Gender, LBGT+ and Neurodiversity networks. Our Support Networks Council meets regularly to ensure our workforce receives the best possible support.
All support networks have differences and can support those from a specific community. However, the council recognises their similarities and combines resources where appropriate to give bespoke support. The council isalso asked to advise on force business, improving mutual understanding and inclusivity.
We welcome applications from individuals from all backgrounds who can demonstrate how they inspire and influence those around them; are courageous and show compassion to others, who respect race and diversity and treat people with dignity and respect at all times.
