About us

More than half the UK working population rely on The Pensions Regulator (TPR) to regulate their retirement savings. With a career at TPR, you’ll be joining an organisation that will impact on millions of lives for decades to come.

Everyone at TPR plays an important role in helping to keep more than £2trn of savings safe. We’re committed to bringing people into TPR who are ready to make a difference and put UK savers at the heart of what we do.

It is important to us that TPR remains a great place to work. We do all we can to help our people reach their full potential with learning, secondment, and development opportunities. We put our 900+ employees first, supporting flexible working and offer a diverse, lively, and inclusive environment. This includes our Disability Network, Family Network, LGBT+ Network (Proud), Minority Ethnic (ME) Network and Women’s Network, which offer spaces to connect.

Our new corporate strategy outlines a bold and challenging vision of how pensions regulation should evolve to keep pace with a change in the scale and nature of the industry. We are at the start of that journey. Join us to find out what part you can play.

We operate a hybrid working model, subject to government guidelines, where regular attendance in our Brighton office is required. Attendance in the office is team and role dependent.

Role

We’re looking for a Data Scientist Apprentice to help us put the saver at the heart of all that we do. Whilst working alongside our data science experts, you will gain first-hand, practical experience to help you reach your potential. We will provide on-the-job coaching, mentoring and support to enable you to complete your Data Scientist Level 6 Apprenticeship (BSc in Data Science).

As a regulator, we have plenty of data – a pool which contains scheme information, metrics from the outside world, and our own internal sources.

What we’re looking for is someone who can turn that data into a compelling picture which helps guide our business decisions. You’ll be using complex maths and predictive models to create compelling visualisations and tell succinct stories with the images you’re creating, bringing insights to the fore which enable a data-driven business response.

No two days will be the same and occasionally the approach you take won’t be a binary option. But if the past is anything to go by, you’ll play a vital part in building bespoke data tools which will be used to help savers for many months and years to come.

We know that increasing representation at senior levels starts with attracting and nurturing great people from the beginning of their career and are keen to see applicants from a variety of backgrounds. If you think Data Science could be the career for you but you’re not 100% sure you meet the criteria, then please do get in touch. Recruitment/appointment will be based purely upon merit.

Responsibilities

Working alongside our data science experts and developing your own skills you will:

• Develop analyses and products that help us understand our business and the regulated community
• Draw insights from data and present them with plain-English narratives and explanations for decision-makers
• Solve complex problems using both internal and external datasets
• Build predictive models that help TPR achieve its strategic goals
• Help mentor and develop Intern Data Scientists.
