Who are we?

OS is a purpose-led not-for-profit business with a mission to build trust and confidence by ensuring that businesses treat customers fairly. Providing a free service to consumers, the company is funded by participating companies through a combination of subscription and case fees.
People come to us once a company’s own complaint handling system has been exhausted. High-quality complaint handling and investigation is essential to find out if things have gone wrong and how to put things right. Using their own data and insight gathered from each case, OS works together with these businesses to improve customer service and business practice, not just for each company but across entire markets, helping to shape wider change and improvement for all consumers, not just those who come to the ombudsman.
The company works with some of the UK’s biggest brands and businesses. It also deals with a broad range of industry associations and is approved by Ofgem and Ofcom, key regulatory partners. When trust and fairness have never mattered more than they do now, OS is well placed to support consumer confidence, engagement and can help to create trusted and competitive businesses and markets for the future.
Future success at OS will increasingly focus on working collaboratively with companies, industry bodies and partners at a strategic level, utilising technology, data and insight to reduce consumer detriment and encourage cultural and behavioural change centred on consumer trust.
To do this, we are transforming our business and are looking for a number of new recruits in a variety of roles to join the team and help us shape the future. We want to hear from you if what we’re talking about excites you, you want to make a difference and you think you have what we are looking for.
Whilst your expertise is important, what’s crucial to the success of our journey is your character and ways of doing things.
