Chief Finance Officer

It is an exciting time for the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner here in Nottinghamshire. Following my election as Police and Crime Commissioner in May 2021, we are delivering my ambitious Make Notts Safe Plan. Whilst I have recently taken up office it is my vision that by the end of my term there will be fewer victims, greater trust and confidence in the police and a stronger and more resilient network of services supporting victims to cope and recover from harm.

My plan centres on three simple objectives:

preventing crime and protecting people from harm
responding efficiently and effectively to community needs
supporting victims, survivors and communities

In meeting these objectives, my plan focuses on the issues that we know are causing the greatest harm and concern to our communities - particularly serious violence, domestic and sexual abuse and local neighbourhood priorities such as anti-social behaviour, speeding and rural crime.

Through my plan, I have set a clear direction for policing, victim services and crime reduction to tackle the issues impacting upon or are likely to impact upon Nottinghamshire during my term in office. Underpinned by evidence drawn from local and national threat assessments, feedback from professionals and practitioners and of course, the views and concerns of residents and victims, I am confident that this plan will help make Nottinghamshire safer. It is an ambitious plan that is unapologetically tough on crime and has the needs of victims and communities at its heart.

To achieve these ambitions, I need an astute, strategic and skilled Chief Finance Officer; that is where you come in.

The Chief Finance Officer is a statutory role, helping me to set the strategic financial plan for policing in Nottinghamshire and provides robust governance and scrutiny of Nottingham Police’s budget, ensuring the residents of Nottinghamshire receive the most efficient and effective police and crime service within the given financial resources.

I am looking for a technically strong strategic and astute finance leader; with the ability to drive efficiency, business transformation and achieve sound financial and business governance, including strategic risk management. Someone who can bring real insight to the role and who will build collaborative relationships to meet the needs of our communities here in Nottinghamshire. You will be curious, and forensic in your approach, alert to all opportunities available to maximise financial and business resources.

Your approach will be evidence-based, designed to constructively challenge and drive change, ensuring that we maximise efficiencies and continue to improve our services, notwithstanding financial and resourcing challenges. Our communities deserve nothing less than effective service, delivered with integrity and with the needs of victims and communities at the heart of everything we do, everything we strive for.

Through building positive, collaborative relationships internally and with senior policing leaders, you will drive transformation and provide robust challenge with scrutiny having a relentless pursuit of delivering well-respected services safeguarding public money.

As an inclusive leader you will ensure that our approach meets the needs of our diverse and unique residents, and that our workforce represents the communities we serve, creating a culture where everyone feels safe and is welcomed.

In return, the role offers professional satisfaction as well as the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of other people. It will provide stimulating professional interest and challenge - my police and crime plan is designed to deliver across a wide range of culturally diverse towns, cities and rural communities, tailored to maximise local impact and to help ensure that everyone feels safe wherever they are based. Against this complex backdrop you will work with integrity, leading and working strategically with others, on behalf of all our communities.
