About us

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) is a modern, vibrant organisation full of passionate, committed people. We make final decisions on complaints that have not been resolved by UK Government departments and the NHS in England. We work closely with people to understand where, how and why public services sometimes fall short and fail to put people first. And we find ways to put it right.

Based in the centre of Manchester and Westminster, we employ over 600 individuals, collaboratively working together to make voices heard. We have created a diverse and inclusive culture, whilst offering flexibility to give you the autonomy to work in the best way suited to you.

This is an opportunity to join us at a senior level and shape how we influence change across public services. You will work on issues that matter, using insight from complaints to improve how services are delivered, and building relationships at the highest levels to make sure peoples experiences lead to real change.

Job description

The role

This is a senior leadership role where you will shape how we think, plan and work as an organisation. You will lead our strategy, policy and stakeholder engagement teams, making sure our plans are clear, evidence based and focused on improving public services.

You will work closely with senior leaders, including the Executive Team and Board, to provide advice on key issues and help set direction. You will also build strong relationships with people across government, the NHS and other organisations, making sure our work has real influence and supports change.

Alongside this, you will lead and develop high performing teams, making sure they have clear direction and support to deliver. This is a role where you can have a real impact, using insight from our work to shape policy, improve services and make a difference to the public.

Person specification

What we are looking for:

significant experience in a senior strategy, policy, research, or stakeholder engagement role, ideally within the public or health sector
proven track record of developing and implementing strategy and policy to deliver organisational objectives
in-depth understanding of strategy development, policy analysis, research methodologies, and stakeholder engagement methods
strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with experience of engaging and building relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, including senior government officials and public sector leaders
excellent leadership and team management skills, with the ability to motivate and develop high-performing teams.

We recognise the value of lived experience. If you have experience of complaining about any public body, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Benefits

Our benefits:

Civil Service Pension scheme
32.5 days annual leave (plus bank holidays on top)
hybrid working, 40% office based
flexible working
access to a free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme offering 24/7 advice and support from professionals and counsellors
comprehensive learning and development programme
employee discount scheme across hundreds of retailers
bicycle loan scheme
season ticket loan
gym membership subsidy
paid for professional memberships
eye test reimbursement.

Applicants from the Civil Service or accredited Non-Departmental Public Bodies are welcome to apply.

We are open to considering this role on a loan or secondment basis. If you are applying on this basis, you must have agreement in principle from your current employer before submitting your application.

Things you need to know

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.

Selection process details

How to apply (and how to do well)

You will answer four scored questions at application stage. We use these to longlist and shortlist, so your answers matter.

choose real examples (from professional settings)
focus on what you did, not what we did as a group
explain your thinking: what you looked at, what you decided, and why
keep it clear and specific, avoid generic statements

Please do not use AI to write your answers. We need to assess your skills, and applications may be rejected if answers appear AI-generated.

If your examples are very short, mostly opinion-based, or dont describe a specific situation and outcome, you are unlikely to score well.

Inclusion & Wellbeing

Equality, diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing are vital to the way we work and our culture. We want our colleagues feel included, valued, and supported at work. It is essential that we are representative and accessible for the people who work here and those who use our service.

Actions we take to embed this include:

an anonymised shortlisting process to make sure it is fair and unbiased
monitoring the demographic trends in our workforce and making measured, sustained efforts to improve our diversity at all levels
providing wellbeing support and opportunities for personal and professional development for all colleagues
creating spaces for connection and engagement through our employee network groups and social clubs
part of the disability confident scheme
providing reasonable adjustments
engaging in regular inclusion learning to enhance the cultural competency of our organisation.

We know the value of having diverse, representative teams across our organisation. Which is why we particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented within the team. These include people who are:

Asian, Black, Mixed Ethnicity or another ethnic background
disabled
LGBTQ.
