Location

OSHQ is based in Southampton, Hampshire but at OS we believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go. We embrace a hybrid working model where we believe the choice is with the individual on when they work from our fantastic offices in Southampton, London or from home. We want to continue to be an inclusive employer and recognise that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all.
