ONS Newport
The corporate headquarters of ONS, you’ll find our Newport site in pleasant surroundings next to the grounds of Tredegar House and just two miles outside the city centre. Newport itself is one of the newest cities in the UK, and the gateway to south Wales.
At this site our work focuses on the collection and analysis of economic statistics, although there’s a growing emphasis on social data. Human Resources, Communications and Finance are among the other services based here. Around 120 of the Information Management team are based at this site.
With open plan, air conditioned, offices, we enjoy extensive catering facilities including a restaurant, shop and coffee lounge, and free parking for all staff. There are also health facilities including a gym and yoga classes, and as well as an on-site, private nursery for children aged three months to four years, we offer a subsidised school holiday playscheme for employees’ children aged between 5 and 13.
ONS Titchfield
A former Royal Air Force base, this 10 acre site is just one mile outside Titchfield village, midway between Portsmouth and Southampton.
With responsibility for the 10-yearly census, our work at this site focuses on population, demography, geography, and regional and local statistics. Around 95 of the Information Management team are based here.
With modern open-plan offices, the site’s facilities include a restaurant, shop, coffee lounge and free parking for all staff. Our social club organises various activities and trips and, if you’re looking to improve your fitness, there’s also a gym and regular exercise classes including yoga and reflexology. We also offer a school holiday playscheme for employees’ children aged between 5 and 12 years.
Titchfield Staffing Strategy
At present, many people at the Titchfield site are working on the build up to the next Census in 2011. The 10 yearly census does bring some logistical problems for ONS in being able to increase our resource pool to cope with the intensive work needed to develop, run and produce the outputs from the Census, and then reducing back down to normal numbers for the period between Censuses.
A staffing strategy is in place to enable us to manage the increase and reduction in staff numbers effectively, and this means that all Titchfield based recruitment will be up to a 4 year fixed term appointments initially.
This work is of a temporary nature and the posts are expected to come to an end on a specific date and will not continue beyond that point. There may be occasions where ONS brings the contract to an end before the date stated in the contract, if so this will be done in accordance with the provisions of the contract. Please be aware that there will be no possibility of extension or renewal of this contract.
