We are looking for flexible, enthusiastic team players to join our dynamic
Trading Standards Service to help shape and drive our service forward.
Centrally located and with great road, rail and air transport links, our
historic county offers scenic countryside and bustling towns and surrounds
the city of Nottingham itself, making it a great place to live in and
fulfil your ambitions.
Nottinghamshire has a proud record in developing and advancing the careers
of its Trading Standards Officers. As a large authority, we are well placed
to provide a very broad range of experience coupled with great support and
mentoring. We enjoy high levels of recognition locally, regionally, and
nationally, and are proud to host the National Trading Standards Regional
Investigations Team for the East Midlands.
We are at the forefront in developing the role played by Trading Standards,
combining a range of innovative, problem solving approaches to protecting
our communities, including major investigations and scams work, with a
dedicated commercial team focussed on providing support to a large and
growing number of businesses, many of whom are in Primary Authority
partnerships.
You will hold the DCATS or equivalent Trading Standards qualification and
be able to demonstrate successful achievement across a good range of
Trading Standards subject areas. You should be committed to professional
development, willing to embrace learning opportunities and prepared to be
involved in a wide variety of work to meet the needs of the Service.
If you have Trading Standards experience and are part-qualified and seeking
to complete your studies towards your Trading Standards qualification we’d
still like to talk to you about how we can help develop you further.
You will have excellent communication skills and will be as comfortable
identifying and maximising commercial income opportunities as you are with
undertaking traditional public protection work. In return we can offer a
competitive salary and the opportunity to develop your leadership skills
and experience. Relocation assistance is available in appropriate
circumstances.
If you are ready to take your career to the next level and want to help
support and lead colleagues to achieve the best outcomes for our
communities then we’d like to hear from you.
