Job summary

About us

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) helps people when things go wrong with public services. We make the final decision on complaints about UK Government departments and the NHS in England when they havent been resolved elsewhere.

Why this role matters: you will do meaningful work with real impact, understanding peoples experiences, working through evidence, and helping put things right when systems havent worked as they should. A role in which you can make a real difference.

Great for graduates: we are a fair, inclusive and supportive place to work. You will have structured learning, regular coaching, and the space to ask questions and build confidence as you go.

The role

As a caseworker, you will investigate NHS and Government department complaints and manage your own cases from start to finish.

You will:

understand what the complaint is about
review evidence and relevant information
speak with the people and organisations involved
decide whether the organisation acted properly
explain your decision clearly and fairly.

Job description

Is this role right for you?

It is a role for people who enjoy careful, analytical thinking, reading and working through detailed information, weighing up evidence and producing clear, well-reasoned written outcomes. You dont need specialist knowledge we will train you.

This role may not suit you if you prefer quick decisions, short pieces of work, or you dislike writing and working through detail.

With multiple vacancies available, you will start alongside other new graduates, learning and developing together.

Career progression

Caseworkers often move into senior caseworker roles, management, and our quality and training teams. Some of our Assistant Casework Directors started as caseworkers.

What were looking for:

a recent degree (minimum 2:2 and within the last 3 years, graduating by August 2026) in any subject
ability to read and understand detailed information (sometimes a lot of it)
confidence to make fair decisions based on evidence, and explain how you reached them
clear written and verbal communication (you will write a lot in this role)
a calm, professional approach with people who may be upset or frustrated
ability to manage your own workload and work towards targets, including progressing and closing cases within expected timeframes.

Person specification

Training and development

We dont expect you to arrive with casework or investigation experience. We will give you the time, training and support you need to become confident in the role.

You will start with a structured training programme designed to get you role-ready, including:

an introduction to PHSO and how we work
how to assess complaints and make fair decisions
how to write clear, well-reasoned outcomes
support to manage your caseload effectively

As you settle in, you will continue learning through:

regular coaching and feedback from experienced colleagues
access to our internal training and quality teams
opportunities to build skills that support your next career step

Development doesnt stop once youre up and running, we invest in you whether you want to deepen your expertise, move into senior roles, or explore other career paths within PHSO.

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

How to apply (and how to do well)

Application form

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

choose real examples (from studies, workplace, volunteering, placements or other experience)
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

The first question will used as an initial sift to longlist applications.

Please do not use AI to write your answers. We need to assess your own analytical and communication 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.

Online written assessment

If shortlisted, you will complete a written assessment online. It is designed to reflect the role, including analysing information and writing clearly.

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.
