Our new Clinical Data Science and Engineering Unit will be the vital engine room for curating, sharing and utilising our data for novel purposes outside of the routine operations of hospital. It will work collaboratively with the Trust's core digital and data functions, performance and analytics, clinical and operational staff, academics and commercial partners to discover new insights and develop data-driven applications. It will also play a key role in managing the safe, secure and efficient deployment of such solutions - from predictive analytics to medical device‑grade decision support tools - in line with policies and processes that it takes the lead in designing.


As Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in driving forward projects within the unit, working across the Trust and with academic, clinical and, in particular, industry partners to deliver impactful initiatives. You will be responsible for planning, executing, and managing multiple projects, ensuring alignment with the Trust's transformation goals. This includes overseeing risk management, stakeholder engagement, financial oversight, and quality assurance, while embedding best practices in data governance and project management.


We are looking for a highly motivated, proactive individual with strong project management skills, the ability to navigate complex challenges, a passion for innovation in healthcare and a desire to collaborate with diverse teams across the NHS, academia and industry.

Our academic partner, Cambridge University, has a global reputation in healthtech, artificial intelligence, engineering, manufacturing and life sciences. And our neighbours on campus include the recently rebuilt Royal Papworth Hospital and AstraZeneca's global R&D facility, the Discovery Centre.


We are collectively brought together through Cambridge University Healthcare Partners, which has been a driving force for the innovation and life sciences agenda nationally.


We recognise that the Trust's data represents one of our most potent assets to support innovation, as well as research and quality improvement. But we have yet to fully exploit its potential., Our Trust.

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.

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

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

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

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
