Nottinghamshire County Council is dedicated to serving our community with compassion and care. We strive to empower our residents, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive. Join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable adults across Nottinghamshire.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Appointee and Deputyship Team as a Senior Appointee Officer.

As Senior Appointee Officer, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring adults who lack the mental capacity to manage their own financial affairs receive the support, protection, and advocacy they need. You will provide leadership, professional oversight, and case direction to your team, supporting them to deliver high-quality services while promoting best practice, continuous improvement, and positive outcomes.

- Drive Improvement: Promote best practices and continuous service improvement within the team.
- Collaborate and Communicate: Build strong partnerships with other agencies and stakeholders to enhance service delivery.
- Monitor and Report: Oversee casework and provide regular updates on team performance and service quality.
