My client is a School in Farnborough, currently seeking a Data Officer on a part-time basis, Mon-Fri, 9.30am -2.30pm. 20 hours per week.
The School is an inclusive and growing special school supporting pupils aged 2–19 with complex needs across multiple sites. We are looking for a bright, proactive and solution-focused Senior Administrative Officer (Systems) to lead and coordinate the wide range of digital systems that support our pupils, staff, and leadership team every day.
This is more than just a data role – we’re looking for someone who brings energy, curiosity and a can-do attitude to everything they do.
Your Core Responsibilities Will Include:

  • Managing and supporting the use of a range of core systems, including but not limited to:
    • Arbor (MIS) – data accuracy, attendance, census, reports, permissions, third-party integrations
    • CPOMS – safeguarding and pastoral oversight, access, support and reporting
    • BlueSky – staff CPD, performance management, and whole-school training tracking
    • Survey tools – such as Teacher Tapp, parental feedback, and internal audits
    • Internal tracking tools – such as EHCP provision maps, intervention spreadsheets and resource allocation logs
  • Leading data integrity, user access, compliance, and system improvements
  • Supporting staff across the school with effective use of systems and identifying training needs
  • Developing digital processes that reduce workload and improve consistency
  • Ensuring all systems support high-quality, evidence-informed decision making at all levels of the school
    Please note: this list is not exhaustive. You will work with an evolving suite of platforms – so adaptability and a willingness to learn are key.
    We’re Looking For Someone Who:
  • Has strong administrative and systems experience – ideally in a school, but other sectors welcome
  • Can confidently navigate digital platforms and proactively learn new systems
  • Is highly organised, methodical, and values accuracy and confidentiality
  • Brings a solution-focused mindset, looking for improvements rather than problems
  • Communicates clearly and lifts the energy of those they work with
  • Can manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and support others with warmth and professionalism
  • Has experience with Arbor, CPOMS, or BlueSky – or a readiness to train in them
    Apply now if you have suitable experience. Hybrid working available

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.

This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.
