Our reporting affects businesses and citizens across the nation
The Office for National Statistics is entrusted with the public’s data. We work on some of the country’s most topical issues, from employment figures to migration statistics, and we are responsible for the ten-yearly census of every household in England and Wales.
Our employees work in an exciting variety of roles and professions. We have colleagues who operate in the field nationwide engaging with the public, at ports, airports and in their homes, as well as colleagues who work flexibly from our sites across the UK.
With offices in Newport, Titchfield, London, Darlington, Edinburgh and Manchester, we are a nationwide organisation, and are growing our regional footprint.
We are modern, technically focused and data driven – never has there been a more exciting time to join us. You can read about our organisational priorities and plans for the future in our “Statistics for the Public Good” strategy.
“The ONS takes inclusion and diversity very seriously. The Diversity into Leadership Programmes have really helped me.”
