Due to an increase in the number of complaints that we are receiving we are looking to recruit additional investigators. So, if you can make a difference and have the perspective we’re looking for, please get in touch.

Further information about the LGSCO is on the website www.lgo.org.uk.

The LGSCO wishes to appoint Investigators to be based at our offices in Coventry, London and York.

The Role

Acting with the delegated authority of the Ombudsman, Investigators assess and investigate complaints made to the LGSCO.  This covers failings in services by local authorities, and social care providers.

The role operates in a collaborative environment where individuals contribute to their team’s objectives and are involved in group and project work, and various outreach activities (for example external training for bodies in jurisdiction).  However, Investigators are also personally responsible for their own case work and for maintaining high standards of professional practice.  Investigators are expected to operate with minimal supervision once experienced, demonstrating a high degree of self-reliance and self-confidence in their work within a supportive environment.
