Trainee Data Consultant
Stroud Area
Salary £27,500 to £32,500
Brilliant Company!

Organisations accumulate vast amounts of information about their customers which, over the years, can become disorganised, duplicated and outdated. This business was founded over 13 years ago to help those businesses streamline and perfect their data management, unlocking the true value of their customer information. We support clients all over the world.

Fulfilling our mission provides experience for our employees, enhancing their value to our business and wider industry. Our culture is a story of wanting to learn, wishing to communicate and a will to pass learning forward.

What Is a Data Consultant?

We work closely with clients on projects ranging from 15 weeks to several years to solve complex data challenges. We employ a variety of tools and techniques, which you will be supported to learn, to de-duplicate and streamline their data.

Why You'll Love Working with Us:

Empowering Environment: Whether you're a recent graduate or someone looking for a career transition to a data-centric role, we offer a nurturing environment that champions growth, learning and development.
Diverse and Inclusive: We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and inclusive workplace. We encourage applications from individuals of all genders, backgrounds and experience to enrich our team's diversity.
Customer-Centric Role: As a Trainee Data Consultant, you'll play a crucial role in helping organisations understand and make the best use of their customer data.
Commitment to your Growth: We will support you to build the technical skills for a career in one of the most rapidly expanding and opportunity-rich areas of business. We will sponsor you to gain industry-recognised professional qualifications to build your technical expertise. You will engage in meaningful projects to build your experience and equip you for a successful career in data consultancy. You will also develop essential soft skills like active listening, running meetings and effective communication.

Who are we looking for?

This position is perfect for those who enjoy social interaction and collaborating with colleagues and clients, possess excellent communication skills, delight in solving puzzles and perfecting their technical skills. We find that graduates in STEM subjects often fit well with the work that we do, but we have successfully trained graduates from humanities and social sciences backgrounds with an aptitude for solving logic and numerical puzzles.

If you're a problem solver with an enquiring mind who thrives in a fast-paced setting where you can make a tangible difference, we're looking for you.

To apply

If you're ready to work in a role where you directly influence the success of businesses and you’re excited about developing into a trusted advisor and expert in data solutions, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in making a difference.

Some words of advice to help you in your application:

• We hope we have made clear that the career we are offering is not data science. If you are looking to build a career as a data scientist, working as a Data Consultant for us is not on your career path.
• The successful candidate must, by the commencement of employment, have the right to work in the UK. Because of the access that our consultants have to our clients’ data, you will also need to pass a basic DBS check

Our mission of ‘Making Recruitment Personal’ also means making recruitment fair. As a result, we are committed to reviewing every application with a sense of diversity and inclusion.

We strive to personally connect with each applicant, but due to current circumstances, this is not always possible. If you haven’t received a response within 5 working days, please understand that your application has not been successful on this occasion

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.
