Policy and Scrutiny Manager

We are recruiting! Come and work for us and help to Make Nottinghamshire Safe.

It is an exciting time for the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) here in Nottinghamshire as we embark on a new term of office following the election of Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Gary Godden in May 2024. Over the coming months we will be working to develop, publish and drive the delivery of a brand new Police and Crime Plan that will set the strategic direction of policing, crime and victim services across Nottinghamshire over the next four years.

To help us undertake this work, we are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Policy and Scrutiny Manager to oversee the OPCC’s scrutiny functions and help develop successful policy initiatives within a multi-agency environment.

The post holder will be responsible for leading and managing a small team of Policy and Scrutiny officers with responsibilities for portfolios including criminal justice, policing, communities and public scrutiny. The role will be undertaken with the support and under the direction of the PCC’s Head of Strategy and Performance.

Role type: Full time.

Location: Joint Headquarters, Sherwood Lodge, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 8PP

Salary: £39,036 to £40,950

Hours: 37

Deadline for applications: 29 September, 5pm.

Working as part of a small team, the post-holder will provide exemplary service to members of the public and partners, with responsibilities for strategy development, horizon scanning and liaison with key local and national stakeholders and inspectorates. The role is high profile, requiring the individual to work proactively with minimal supervision and is demanding and pressurised.

In return, working in the OPCC offers professional satisfaction as well as the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of Nottinghamshire residents. Working with police colleagues, partners and the public, you will contribute to the delivery of excellent local services that provide effective safeguarding and value for money.
