We're PEP Health, an AI-enabled platform transforming the way healthcare providers understand patient experience, and we're looking for top talent to join our ambitious team. We’re virtually headquartered in London and operate across the UK and USA.


As a SaaS company, we deliver real-time analytics via our web platform that helps improve healthcare services and patient outcomes.


We’re looking for a dynamic Data Scientist to join our growing team. You’ll be responsible for developing our NLP models, analysing the outputs of those models on the wealth of data we collect, and working closely with our customers to explain the findings in a clear, concise, and actionable manner.


You should be self-motivated, eager to learn, and willing to take on new responsibilities, while managing your workload. If you thrive in an agile environment and wish to join an innovative team that’s pioneering positive change in healthcare services, we'd love to hear from you.

We're committed to creating an exceptional working environment for our employees. Our culture is open and empowering, and we're looking for a passionate, driven individual to join us on our mission.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and implementing NLP approaches to extract new insights from unstructured text data
  • Training machine learning models to automatically categorise text
  • Investigating new approaches to problems, exploring the literature, and actively following the cutting-edge of research
  • Communicating with clients to gather requirements, provide updates, and ensure successful project outcomes.
  • Delivering products in the form of reports, presentations, and academic publications
  • Ensuring projects follow agile methodologies and best practices.


So, what's in it for you?

  • A fast-paced, friendly, collaborative and flexible working environment
  • Ample opportunities for career development and growth
  • A diverse and inclusive workplace
  • Monthly wellbeing allowance
  • Unlimited leave


What We’re Looking For:

Must have

  • 3+ years experience as a Data Scientist in a commercial setting
  • Extensive experience using Python to analyse text and implement machine learning models - including packages like Spacy and Tensorflow
  • Familiarity with MLOps and experience using AWS to develop, deploy and monitor models
  • A scientific mindset with strong problem-solving, data analytical, and exploratory skills
  • Experience working directly with commercial clients to present and evolve data science solutions.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate technical concepts to a non-technical audience
  • Experience with project management and knowledge base tools such as Jira and Confluence
  • Comfortable working remotely
  • Right to work in the UK


Nice to have

  • Experience working in tech, healthcare, or SaaS environments
  • A track record of academic publications
  • Postgraduate degree in a quantitative field
  • Strong knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, etc.)


This is a remote role for UK-based individuals.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
