Are you a current serving Police Community Support Officer looking for a new opportunity to continue making a positive difference in local communities? Nottinghamshire Police is seeking applications from experienced PCSOs who are ready to bring their skills, knowledge and commitment to neighbourhood policing in Nottinghamshire.

As a PCSO, you will play a vital role in engaging with the public, building confidence, supporting safer communities and working closely with colleagues across neighbourhood policing teams. This opportunity is aimed at individuals who already have PCSO experience within another Home Office police force and are ready to transfer their experience into Nottinghamshire Police.

Nottinghamshire Police are very proud to be able to offer excellent staff and officer wellbeing support including having an in-house Wellbeing Team and complementary counselling as part of our Employee Assistance Program. One of our priorities is to become an employer of choice.
