About The Role

Please note that this is an apprenticeship position and therefore anyone who holds a degree or masters degree in a subject such as Data Science will not be eligible.


You will also need to commit to completing a Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship.


What will you be doing?

We have a number of data analyst apprenticeship roles available and the responsibilities and deliverables will vary but example duties include:



  • Establish reporting needs and deliver insightful and accurate information
  • Collect, compile and cleanse data
  • Identify, analyse, and interpret trends or patterns in data sets
  • Summarise and present the results of data analysis to a range of stakeholders, making recommendations
  • Interrogate and analyse data to root-cause data quality issues

As part of the Level 4 Data Analyst apprenticeship standard, you’ll be on track to an industry recognised qualification and your dedicated industry coach will support you through a blended approach that will include remote, in person, 1-2-1 and group learning.


What do you need?

To be successful in this apprenticeship you'll have high levels of accuracy and attention to detail. You should be competent in using Microsoft Excel and have a proven interest in data analysis (this could be from formal studies, self-study or the workplace).


To be eligible for the apprenticeship, you also need to have a minimum of 5 GCSEs (grades 9-4 or A-C) including Maths and English. Some experience of using data tools (e.g. SQL, Python, Power BI etc) would be an advantage but not essential.


You also need to meet the eligibility criteria in the government apprenticeship rules including:



  • Right to work: You must have the right to work in the UK.
  • Residency: You must be a UK citizen who has been resident in the UK or EEA for the previous three years; an EEA or Switzerland national who has obtained either pre-settled or settled status under the EUSS and have lived continuously in the EEA, Switzerland, Gibraltar, or the UK for at least the previous 3 years; a non-UK national who has been ordinarily resident in the UK and Islands for at least the previous 3 years where no part of this period has been wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education; or an individual with immigration or asylum‑seeking status which makes you eligible to receive government apprenticeship funding.

Prior knowledge and skills: You must not hold a level 4 qualification or above in a related subject, e.g. a degree or masters degree in subjects including Maths, Data Analysis, Business Analytics etc.


Government funded learning programmes: You must not be on another government funded learning programme.


What can we offer you?

You’ll be working towards your level 4 Data Analyst apprenticeship over 2 years to gain a recognised qualification alongside industry experts. As well as a salary of £24,500, you’ll receive 27 days holiday – plus bank holidays, have access to our car schemes, pension scheme, employee well‑being support, on‑site restaurant and shopping discounts.


What's the assessment process?

Once you hit the apply button, you will be asked to submit an application form with CV and answer a couple of video interview questions so that we have a chance to get to know a little more about you.


Our final step in the journey would be to attend a face‑to‑face assessment centre, where you will take part in a range of activities based on real‑life tasks.


Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre for a September 2026 start.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
