Katrine Sporle, the current Property Ombudsman is set to retire in the autumn, so the hunt is on for a new candidate.
The new Ombudsman will take up the post in November 2019, and will also hold the position of Chief Executive of The Property Ombudsman (TPO) organisation whose headquarters is based in Salisbury.
