About The Job
Job summary
This is an opportunity to shape the future Data landscape in a fast-growing, national organisation with real social purpose. Working within the Data and Analytics team, you will tackle complex data challenges, develop robust data solutions, and contribute to the advancement of data-driven decision-making across Homes England.
Job Description
Our apprenticeships provide the opportunity to complete an apprenticeship standard in your chosen profession through part-time study, whilst also working for Homes England and gaining real work experience. You will complete placements which are structured around the apprenticeship standard to help you gain the skills you need to complete the apprenticeship.
You will be supported by your placement manager and you will be empowered to take ownership of your own learning and development including having access to a coach or mentor.
You will be learning from the Data Science team, supporting existing Data Science projects, and over time developing your own. You will also learn and contribute to the management, documentation, and evaluation of data science projects.
You will be helping to grow our team of talented Data professionals, who are committed to making Homes England a Data-led organisation. To deliver this you will have opportunities to learn and utilise tools and technologies such as Azure Databricks, Computer Vision, and Azure Machine Learning alongside languages such as PySpark, Python, R, and SQL. As a Data Scientist you will also have opportunities to work alongside the engineering team developing our Azure Data Platform, and Data Analysts working to automate reporting and analysis visuals via PowerBI.
You will work with data colleagues collaboratively, taking an innovative and creative approach to data science. We value diversity in experience and perspective to foster good decision-making and problem-solving within our team.
We are a team that prides itself on creating space to learn. There are exciting and ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day-to-day delivery whilst providing an environment to learn and stay up to date with current tools and technologies.
Person specification
You are resilient, self-motivated, and comfortable diving into data environments, as well as learning coding techniques and languages such as Python. You will learn to apply your ideas and skills to support business delivery. You enjoy working innovatively while delivering high-quality data solutions.
We’re looking for people with a strong background in maths or data analysis, who are looking to move into Data Science. Note that individuals with a background or qualification directly in data science are unlikely to be eligible for the apprenticeship.
Essential Criteria
* Either a degree in a maths or science subject, or demonstrable experience in statistics, data, and analysis
* Good understanding of statistics, such as distributions, hypothesis testing, and regression.
* Experience of or willingness to learn coding languages, particularly SQL and Python (including core data analysis libraries such as Pandas and NumPy).
* Experience creating engaging data narratives and visualisations to tell a story
* Curiosity around data, and desire to understand its completeness, quality, usability, and applicability to a business or policy area.
* A strong interest in continued learning, and willingness to do this independently.
Desirable Criteria
* Understanding of the importance of data understanding, data cleansing, data manipulation, and data translation
* An interest in the worlds of AI and machine learning
* A dedication to the process of review and testing your ideas and work (we use Git + Azure Dev Ops).
* A broad understanding of or interest in databases, data connectivity, and APIs
* An appetite to learn about the housing and regeneration policy areas and industrial sectors, and how data can be used to deliver the Government's missions in these areas.
The solutions we deliver should be reusable and scalable with a focus on consistency and maintainability. You will be able to review existing data science projects and improve them while thinking about resilience, efficiency, and performance. As part of this, you should have a desire to learn and explore new technologies.
As an experienced Digital professional, you’ll understand how to manage relationships with colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others collaboratively, inclusively.
We are looking for the next generation of professionals to help us in key skills shortage areas. You will be an innovator who will bring fresh ideas, be commercially minded, a problem solver, and a strong relationship builder. You will strive for excellence, embrace change, and be curious about future possibilities.
You will be motivated to make a difference and share and be passionate about our vision to effectively drive regeneration and housing delivery to create high-quality homes and thriving places. You’ll be pro-active about your own development.
You will be required to have the Right to Work in the UK for the duration of the programme. Homes England do not offer visa sponsorship, therefore if your visa expires mid-programme and you will need to provide evidence on how you plan to secure another visa without sponsorship from Homes England.
Your application needs to be in your own words, reflect your personal understanding and experience, and must not have been generated by AI tools such as ChatGPT.
