Looking for a role with real social purpose?


We’re working exclusively with a leading Housing Association in Lincolnshire to find a Data Quality & Governance Analyst, a role that will put you right at the heart of shaping how data drives better decisions for communities.


This isn’t your typical data analyst job. You won’t be stuck building dashboards or pulling endless reports. Instead, you’ll be the person who connects the dots between data, people, and outcomes. You’ll bring governance to life, tell stories that make sense of complex information, and help create a culture where quality and trust sit at the centre of every decision.


The organisation has made data one of its four strategic pillars, and this role is key to that journey. You’ll work across the business to improve how data is captured, understood, and used, with a particular focus on repairs, assets, and customer records. Every improvement you make will have a direct impact on tenants and service delivery.


Day-to-day, you’ll be investigating data mismatches and inconsistencies, supporting process mapping, and helping teams embed clear standards and rules. You’ll use a new data quality and governance tool to assess integrity, and you’ll build trust by coaching colleagues and showing them why data matters.


You’ll be shaping the future of data governance and warehousing, with opportunities to influence how AI and machine learning are adopted down the line. You’ll join a supportive, open-minded team that values collaboration and innovation. You’ll have the chance to influence decisions that really matter, from compliance to customer experience, and you’ll be part of a business that’s investing in tools, people, and a clear data strategy. There’s genuine scope to grow, shape the role, and develop your leadership skills.


They are looking for someone who understands the basics of SQL, knows what good data governance looks like, and has experience working with data in housing, public services, or local government. You’ll need to be confident engaging stakeholders at all levels and passionate about making complex things simple. Most importantly, you’ll be a natural communicator who enjoys working with people, not just data.


The package:

  • £42,500 per annum
  • Hybrid working – 1/2 days a week in Lincolnshire offices
  • Generous wellbeing package
  • 25 days holiday (rising with service) plus bank holidays
  • Defined pension scheme with up to 12% employer contribution
  • Learning and development opportunities to grow your skills – especially in data leadership


If this sounds like you, apply via this advert, connect with me on LinkedIn, or email .


No CV? No problem, send what you have, and we’ll take it from there.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
