OPCC Policy and Scrutiny Officer
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 publishing and delivering against 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 Officer to oversee the OPCC’s scrutiny functions and support the development of successful multi-agency policy initiatives to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Criminal Justice System.
The post holder will be responsible for leading, developing and co-ordinating the OPCC’s Criminal Justice assurance and scrutiny functions. This includes fulfilling the role of Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB) Co-Ordinator and leading the production and maintenance of the LCJB delivery plan.
Working as part of a small team, the post-holder will provide exemplary service to members of the public and partners, with responsibilities for co-ordination of the Nottinghamshire Criminal Justice Board, horizon scanning and liaison with key local and national stakeholders and inspectorates. The role is high profile and demanding, requiring the individual to work proactively with minimal supervision.
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.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and want our workforce to represent the communities we serve. We encourage and welcome applications from all backgrounds and communities and in particular those that are currently under-represented in our workforce, including but not limited to Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic, disabled and LGBTQ+ candidates.
