The Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman (IFSO) Scheme has provided a free and independent dispute resolution service for 27 years. Each year, about 3,000 people contact the IFSO Scheme with enquiries or complaints about insurance and financial services.

The IFSO Scheme membership comprises approximately 4,500 participants, who are providers of insurance, financial advice, superannuation and investments, loans and credit, foreign exchange and money transfer services. Together with complaint resolution, the IFSO Scheme prioritises prevention, education and accessibility initiatives.

This is a permanent position, based on The Terrace, Wellington Central. Applications will be considered from those seeking anywhere from three days per week to full time.

The IFSO Scheme is a truly flexible employer, and once the “training wheels” have come off, you’ll be able to structure your week to suit, and will be provided with the necessary tools to work from home as needed.
