Job description
We are looking for dynamic, innovative and inspirational leaders who have the ability and are motivated to drive success.
It is our clear vision to deliver an outstanding service we can all be proud of to the communities of Nottinghamshire.
Our communities need to trust us to do the right thing for the right reasons, be transparent and accountable in all we do and work together to find resolutions to the issues that affect them. We work tirelessly to ensure that victims are at the heart of all we do, that we respond effectively, conduct investigations to the highest standards and find an appropriate resolution to their calls for service.
We are looking for committed individuals who share our ambition to deliver our Proud to Serve Pledge.
We are looking for credible, motivated individuals who will be able to lead their teams through the challenges of policing, build successful relationships with partners and the community and uphold our organisational standards. Our leaders must embody and promote the force's PROUD values. With strong and visible leadership skills, you will be dynamic, innovative and resilient in your journey to lead your team to success.
Working collaboratively with our partners, you will create a credible and professional environment which promotes diversity and enhances service delivery.
Applications are invited from substantive Inspectors seeking transfer, and substantive Sergeants who are appropriately qualified (including those in temporary and acting Sergeant Positions) from Home Office Forces.
Applications will open on 10 March 2025 and can be accessed through the Nottinghamshire Police recruitment portal. The closing date for applications to be submitted is 11:59pm on 04 April 2025.
Please allow sufficient time for first and second line managers to complete their sections of the application form. External candidates must also have first and second line managers complete the relevant sections of the application form.
Shortlisting results will be communicated week commencing 07 April 2025 and if your application is successfully shortlisted you will be put through to the next stage of the process and you will be sent an email from your recruitment account.
Interviews are currently scheduled to take place between 22 April 2025 and 02 May 2025.
Please note that applications and subsequent interviews will be based on the revised Competency and Values Framework (CVF) released by the College of Policing in 2024.
Successful candidates who are qualified through the Ospre route, will be required to undertake the 12 month Work Based Assessment (Step 4 NPPF) following promotion.
Salary
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.
