Location

The locations for this role are Newport and Titchfield (Fareham).

This role is aligned to ONS hybrid working principles, which are based on attending the office with purpose. The postholder will be expected to contribute to the organisations overall 40% office attendance, in line with business and role requirements.

Your induction will take place in person at either our Newport or Titchfield office. This will form part of your first week of employment. We are aiming to start the whole cohort together in January 2027. Full details will be provided should you be successful in obtaining a post.

During the first three months, you'll take part in an initial training "bootcamp", requiring increased attendance at our Newport and/or Titchfield offices. Following completion of the bootcamp, the current expectation is attendance in the office for at least 40% of your working week. Where training takes place at a location other than your contractual office base, ONS will cover approved accommodation, travel and subsistence costs.

Please note: While part-time is supported as a working pattern for this vacancy, to deliver the training and development intended you will need to work a minimum of 30 hours per week.
