Contract: 6 Months (Potential Extension)

We are currently recruiting for two Data Analysts to support a large, complex organisation in Reading. This role will suit analysts who have experience working with HR data, HR systems, and people metrics, rather than purely digital product or marketing analytics.

The successful candidates will play an important role in analysing workforce data, producing management information, and supporting HR operations teams with data-driven insights and reporting.

This is a hybrid role, with approximately 1–2 days per week onsite and the remainder remote.

Key Responsibilities

* Analyse HR and workforce data to provide meaningful insights and reporting.

* Produce management information (MI), dashboards, graphs and reports to support operational decision making.

* Track and present metrics, trends, and performance data to internal stakeholders.

* Support quality reviews, audits, and reporting requests within HR operations.

* Work with HR teams to interpret and communicate data clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

* Assist with process improvements and enhancements to HR systems and reporting.

* Handle sensitive and confidential employee data with discretion.

Essential Skills & Experience

* Active SC Clearance (required).

* Experience working in an HR or HR operations environment, with exposure to HR data and HR systems.

* Experience using HR platforms such as Workday, Oracle, SAP, SuccessFactors, iTrent, or similar.

* Strong analytical capability and confidence working with metrics and workforce data.

* Advanced Excel skills.

* Strong attention to detail and problem-solving ability.

* Ability to present data clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

* Strong planning and organisational skills.

* Experience producing MI reports, graphs, burn-down metrics, and data quality reporting.

Desirable Experience

* Experience building dashboards (Power BI or similar).

* Experience working in secure, government, or highly regulated environments.

* Understanding of HR policies, processes, and data definitions.

Additional Information

* Candidates must hold active SC Security Clearance.

* Interviews will be conducted via MS Teams.

* The organisation participates in schemes supporting veterans and candidates with disabilities, and eligible applicants may qualify for a guaranteed interview scheme

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
