Job Specifications

Data Scientist | Population & Location Insight

6 months - Inside IR35

Hybrid - Onsite In London (Bi-weekly)

Are you the kind of Data Scientist who enjoys turning complex, messy datasets into clear, useful insight? Do you like asking the awkward questions that actually matter? Perfect, you’ll fit right in.

We’re looking for a Data Scientist to support strategic planning by analysing how changing population characteristics affect service locations, attendance, and operational models.

You’ll be exploring things like:

How shifts in population density and demographics impact the need for fixed and mobile service locations
Whether geographical factors influence attendance and non-attendance
The real-world strengths and limitations of different batching models
This role is about practical impact, not vanity dashboards.

What you’ll be doing

Exploring and analysing large datasets to uncover trends and patterns
Cleaning, preparing and visualising data to support decisions
Building clear, simple models that help operational teams plan more effectively
Working closely with stakeholders to turn analysis into action

Key technical skills

Strong experience with Python, Pandas and SQL
Confident with data wrangling, exploration and visualisation
Experience with business intelligence tools

What we’re looking for

Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder communication skills
Proactive, enthusiastic and comfortable sharing ideas
Logical, objective and calm when things are a bit unclear
A genuine interest in learning and helping others grow
Comfortable working in Agile delivery environments

This is the kind of role where your work directly influences real-world decisions, without the noise of big corporate theatre. If you like meaningful challenges, collaborative working and solving problems that actually matter, you’ll enjoy this.
