After a career in accountancy in the City of London, Sothcott returned to the arts in her 40s appearing in dozens of theatre productions and short films. Sothcott went by the name Janine for some years as people in the UK found it hard to pronounce but reverted to her real name when she became an actress. .

Sothcott stared opposite Murray and Moran in Nemesis, winning widespread critical acclaim. Roger Crow of On Magazine commented, "Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott gives a brave, at times jaw-dripping performance as the photogenic matriarch Sadie, who will do anything to protect her family"[6], while Screen One said, “Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott as Morgan’s long suffering wife Sadie, puts in a really ballsy performance and handles the more physical scenes with relative ease.”[7]
