The Ombudsman is an independent, impartial officer of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario who investigates complaints from the public about Ontario government services. As an Officer of the House, the Ombudsman is non-partisan and independent of the political process, the civil service, and interest groups.
Appointed by order of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for a term of five years, and with the option to be reappointed for one further term, the Ombudsman has a mandate to investigate any decision or recommendation made or any act done or omitted in the course of the administration of the broader public sector. This includes: Ontario government organizations (including agencies, boards, commissions, and tribunals), Municipalities, Universities, School Boards, French Language Services and Child Protection Services.
Issues for review may be raised by individuals, Members of Provincial Parliament, or on the Ombudsman’s own motion because of some action that has been taken or neglected to be taken by an official, or from some decision or recommendation.
The Ombudsman Act sets out the Ombudsman’s powers of investigation, which include the authority to issue summonses, request documentation from public sector bodies, require evidence under oath, and inspect premises.

You will have a track record of making equitable decisions with sound judgement, with strong communication and collaboration skills, inspiring trust and confidence that are essential in this position. Complementing your knowledge of legislative systems and public sector management, you have demonstrated senior leadership experience in managing complex organizations, leading sensitive inquiries and identifying conflicts of interest, conducting investigations and making appropriate recommendations with a sound understanding of administration and legal rights.
Crucial to this position is practical knowledge of the law, investigatory procedures, ability to draw on formal dispute resolution and mediation skills to assess and resolve complaints ranging from dismissal to a formal hearing. With your experience working in a demanding environment, your strategic planning and management practice skills in a unionized environment round out the required level of expertise. Proficiency in English and French is required.
The Ombudsman reports annually and issues special reports as appropriate, through the Speaker to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
Compensation shall be within the Deputy Minister's salary range (MIN $286,651 – MAX $418,145 April 1, 2026) and includes a defined benefit pension and group health care benefits.
