Newcastle | Hybrid (2 to 3 days in office)

We are hiring a Data Scientist to join a growing technology team building data-driven products used across the business. This role sits at the intersection of analytics, machine learning, and real-world decision making.


You will work with large, complex datasets, build models that are used in production, and partner closely with product, engineering and commercial teams to solve meaningful problems.


This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys owning problems end to end rather than just producing reports.


What you will do
  • Build and deploy machine learning and statistical models to solve business problems
  • Work with structured and unstructured data to generate insight and predictions
  • Design experiments, evaluate models, and improve performance over time
  • Translate business questions into analytical solutions
  • Work with data engineers and software engineers to productionise models
  • Communicate results clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

What we are looking for
  • A strong Data Scientist with experience working in a commercial environment
  • Degree in a quantitative subject such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering or Data Science
  • Strong Python and SQL
  • Experience with machine learning, statistics, and data modelling
  • Comfortable working with large datasets and messy real-world data
  • Able to explain complex results in a simple, practical way

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

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

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

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
