How these numbers are made
MatchRadar scans employer career sites, public job boards and open job data every weekday for its members. These figures count the postings still live on 2026-10-15 whose title names this role and whose location is in the United Kingdom; a posting listing offices in two countries counts in both, and the same job seen on two sources counts once. A page is published only when at least 30 postings from 10 employers stand behind it. No job ad is reproduced here.
Sources whose terms do not clearly allow re-use are left out of every figure. Competences are matched against ESCO, the European Commission's skills classification (© European Union, CC BY 4.0).
