Vision Nottingham, the city’s Inward Investment team, is hoping to woo Ofsted employees to Nottingham as part of the Government’s drive to disperse public sector jobs around the country.

The Team will be at Ofsted’s London Headquarters this week to explain to staff affected by a departmental restructure why they should relocate to Nottingham.

During the information day, Nottingham City Council’s Director for Sustainable Development Simon Green will give presentations on the Nottingham offer and will encourage staff members and their families to relocate in Nottingham.

Deputy Leader of Nottingham City Council, Councillor Graham Chapman said:

“The City’s central location and excellent transport links to the rest of the UK gives Nottingham the winning edge.

“Residents of Greater Nottingham can enjoy an excellent, cost-effective quality of life. Nottingham has a wide range of top quality cultural, leisure and sporting activities, housing is competitively priced and many local schools, colleges and universities have achieved outstanding results.”

There are more than 98,000 public service jobs in Greater Nottingham, equivalent to nearly a third of all local jobs. The Vision Nottingham team are proactive in their approach and continue to deliver an effective business programme to help public sector organisations relocate whilst also offering ongoing support to help those already based in the city.
