Homes England Apprenticeship Programme 2025 - Associate Data Scientist

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 supporting business delivery. You enjoy working in an innovative and engaging way 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. 

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 as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.

 

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 and home and thriving places. You’ll be pro-active about your own development.  

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.

 

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.
