Alongside your role, you'll complete a three-year Degree Apprenticeship in Applied Data Science at Cardiff Metropolitan University, combining academic learning with practical workplace experience.

This role would suit someone who enjoys analysing information, spotting patterns and asking questions. You'll be comfortable working with different people across the organisation, confident to ask questions, challenge existing ways of working and help identify practical solutions that improve efficiency and outcomes.

An interest in data analysis, Microsoft Excel, automation tools, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies would be beneficial, although full training and support will be provided
