Diversity and inclusion
At ODS we pride ourselves on diversity and inclusion underpinning what we do and why we do it. These concepts encompass our attitudes as individuals and as an organisation.
At ODS, diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords – they're fundamental to who we are and what we stand for. We believe that our differences make us stronger, and we're committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
Celebrating the unique perspectives each individual brings to ODS
We positively welcome suitably qualified, experienced, and eligible candidates from all backgrounds, regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, marital status, pregnancy, or maternity.
We celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that each individual brings to our team. Our differences are what make us unique, and we embrace them wholeheartedly.

ODS's initiative to employ ex-offenders
ODS is committed to its goal of providing employment opportunities to ex-offenders.
We are inspired by other organisations that have successfully incorporated the recruitment of ex-offenders into their business models, and we recognise the potential of tapping into this talent pool and contributing to their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
Through this initiative, ODS will contribute towards reducing re-offending rates and pave the way for a more inclusive and socially responsible business environment.
We’ll support you all the way as you create your future with ODS
You'll have in-house mentors to provide support and guidance, as well as experienced colleagues to guide your development.
ODS wants to support applicants from all walks of life, if a full-time apprenticeship doesn’t work for you or there may be barriers to you completing an apprenticeship contact us to discuss your options.
