Senior Data Scientist - £60,000 - £70,000 + bonus + private healthcare

Bristol / work from home hybrid (full-time or 4 day part-time)

An excellent opportunity for a Senior Data Scientist to join one of Bristol’s fastest growing software houses, joining a newly formed AI / Machine Learning function.

It would suit a Senior Data Scientist who is comfortable with practical work across both traditional Machine Learning and with LLMs; someone able to create proof of concept projects and develop robust models. You will ultimately help to demonstrate the value and possibilities that AI and Machine Learning can bring.

There will be a focus on:

  • understanding what data is available
  • deciding on the best approach and ML tech to use
  • creating and implementing ML models
  • there is less focus on deployment and monitoring, although experience would be a bonus

If you have worked across several projects as a Data Scientist and can help establish best practices, you will be able to play a key role within the team.

The company have a hybrid working policy and you would need to be able to get to the office in central Bristol a couple of times a week.

Some of the benefits you can expect with the Senior Data Scientist role include:

  • Bonus scheme - up to 10%
  • Flexible work patterns
  • Potential to work part-time (4 day week)
  • Death in service (4x salary)
  • Private healthcare
  • 26 days holiday (plus banks)
  • Holiday trading (buy / sell up to 3 extra days)
  • Regular social events

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.

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.
