Private Sector Data Analyst Jobs, where to look?

Hi there,

What sites would I need to look on to find Data Analyst jobs, not entry level ones, ones paying £30k+

I've had a search but so many jobs seem to be agencies advertising roles.

Thanks

    Jobserve is a good place to start for IT jobs. You may find that there will be more contract opportunities than perm.

    Failing that, approach some agencies like Reed, Harvey Nash, SQ, ICore etc

    OK I just read your post again and saw you said
    "so many jobs seem to be agencies advertising roles."

    What's wrong with applying for roles via agencies?

    Some agencies invent roles to harvest information. We'd rather avoid them!

    Contract positions wouldn't be all that good, OH has been in his current job for 10 years and is looking to find another permanent role if possible.

    Hunting; do a search on
    INQJOBS
    Gumtree
    Computing Careers
    TotalJobs

    Alternative ways;
    Place an advert on Gumtree and state that you are looking for work as a Data Analyst, Private sector.

    Hi, I am a data analyst too.

    I find the best way to find jobs is to list all the companies where I would be willing to work and then go on to their websites and apply directly.

    I too find agencies a waste of time!
