We Do Data

We're not just any old recruitment agency...WeDoData like no other👏🏼

Most recruiters ask for your CV and call it a day.

We ask what you actually want.

Here's what that looks like in practice, the 5 things we do differently in education recruitment:

1. We ask what you won't compromise on, whether that's remote working or career progression, so we don't waste your time on roles that won't fit.

2. We find out what's actually pushing you to leave your current role, not just what you want, but what you don't want either.

3. We look beyond the job listing to the manager, the team, and the culture, because that's what actually shapes the role day to day.

4. We ask what skills you're looking to develop, so we understand the motivation behind your search, not just your CV.

5. We find out what success looks like for you in two years, so what we put in front of you now actually moves you forward, not just sideways.

Because a role is never just a job description. It's whether it moves you closer to where you actually want to be.

Looking to make your next move in education? Let's talk.

This isn't a trend report or guesswork, it's what's genuinely open across our client base this month, straight from the schools and colleges we work with. Every role below is live right now.

Data & MIS - Reporting and dashboards, trend analysis, and hands-on MIS/student information systems experience.

IT & Infrastructure - Windows Server, Active Directory and cloud infrastructure. The technical depth colleges lean on when things get complex.

Communication Support - Level 3 BSL and hands-on experience supporting deaf and hearing-impaired learners across a range of educational settings.

Finance & Accounting - Management accounts, budgeting and forecasting, and financial insight senior leaders actually rely on.

Here's the part people miss: none of this requires a background in education. If you've got the skills, the sector wants you, whether you've ever set foot in a school or not.

If you've ever thought "I don't know if my experience counts" or "I didn't know schools needed someone like me", this is your sign.

Tag the person who needs to see this. Recognise yourself in any of these? Get in touch, roles are live now.

One word to describe A Level results day?

Emotional. Terrifying. Relief. Thrilling. We went out and asked - those answers say everything.

Whether your results today were exactly what you hoped for, better than expected, or not quite what you wanted - this moment is just the beginning. A Level results don’t define your ceiling. They’re just one data point in a much bigger story.

A lot of people don’t realise how many career paths exist in data, IT, MIS, and technology - especially within schools, colleges, and multi-academy trusts. From data analysts and MIS officers to IT support and systems managers, the education sector is full of roles that most people never even think about when they’re picking their next step.

You don’t always need a degree to get started. You just need curiosity, the right skills, and an idea of where to look.

We’re WeDoData - a recruitment agency specialising in data, IT, and MIS roles in the education sector across the UK. Follow us to learn more about the kinds of careers that exist in this space, and what it actually takes to build one.

What happens when students realise university isn’t the only path? 👇

Lauren Stone from Olympus Trust shares the shift she’s seen since WeDoData started running career workshops with their students. More confidence. More curiosity. Real conversations about what a career in data, tech, or finance actually looks like.

Not every route looks the same. And the schools helping young people see that? They’re the ones making a real difference.

This is why the work Jay and the team do matters.

Career paths are never linear, and that's something every student needs to hear 🌀

Lauren Stone from Olympus Trust has seen it first-hand. Since Jay and the WeDoData team started running workshops with their students, something has shifted. More confidence. More curiosity. Real conversations about jobs, careers, and what success can actually look like.

Not every path goes through university, and the students are starting to believe that now.

If you're a school, MAT, or FE college looking to open up those conversations, this is what it looks like in practice👇

What starts a great partnership?

For us, it wasn't a pitch deck or a LinkedIn message. It was a conversation about music at a VOID event - and everything grew from there.

Brandon from VOID shares how WeDoData and VOID went from strangers to two organisations working toward the same thing: real community, real diversity, real change.

It's a reminder that the best professional relationships often start somewhere completely unexpected. Shared values have a funny way of finding each other.

Watch the full story above and let us know - what's the most unexpected way you've made a meaningful connection? 👇🤝

Meet Brandon - Director of VOID Radio, and one of our community partners. 🎙️

Jay sat down with him at The Full Moon in Bristol to talk about what VOID Radio is all about.

VOID Radio is a volunteer-run community radio station built on three core pillars:
🔹 Physical community
🔹 Underrepresentation in music acts and genres
🔹 Celebrating everything Bristol

They’ve been connecting Bristol’s underground since 2022, and we’re proud to be on the journey with them.

Follow along to find out more about the partnerships and people behind WeDoData.

Six years of WeDoData deserved more than cake 🎂🛶

We took the team to the River Wye to celebrate, because when you spend your days supporting the people who keep schools running, you earn a proper adventure.

Paddles, sunshine, drinks, snacks, and a team that genuinely loves what we do. That's six years well spent.

Here's to the next six 🥂
