Data Analyst

Are you a finance professional with strong excel skills able to start a new role in the next few weeks? Do you like manipulating data to aid forecasting and reporting? If the answer is yes then we'd be keen to hear from you as due to an unusually high workload our client needs some support with some financial analysis to ease the workload on the team. This role is based between Bristol and Bath and whilst 2 days on site would be ideal the hiring manager is prepared to compromise and just have someone on site a few days a month if required. You'll be someone who isn't phased by big data and can manipulate this in excel along with carrying out reporting and possibly some reforecasting. With gross revenue of close to 250M this company needs to be able to track variances against budget and needs someone who understands accruals and prepayments, can carry out balance sheet reconciliations, can ensure sales data is correct and therefore convert this into forward financial revenue. Excel capability needs to be to lookup, index matching and sumif level and your reporting skills need to be on point to highlight any potential challenges to the SMT. It's possible that this role could become more long term or even permanent however at this stage it needs to be treated as a 3 month fixed term counteract. If this sounds like an opportunity that would interest you then please get in touch through application and shortlisted applicants will be contacted with further details. This role requires you to be presently living a commutable distance from Bristol/Bath and have UK citizenship that does not require a visa or sponsorship.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
