What is The Data School?
The Data School was founded in 2015 by The Information Lab, with the goal of producing the next generation of data visualisation experts. Data visualisation skills are in huge demand across a wide array of industries - we've trained over one hundred Data School consultants, who are now out on placement or working full-time after having completed their contract.
What we offer is a 28-month fixed term contract, comprising of an initial four month training period, followed by 24 months' worth of placements. Consultants are paid from day one of the training period. The starting salary is £35k per year, this then increases to £40k per year for the final 12 months. We also offer a generous benefits package and a human-centric workplace.
