About DiSSCo UK The UK's natural science collections, comprising over 140 million items, are a vital global resource holding unique data on Earth's history and natural systems. However, their potential to address critical issues like biodiversity and climate change is limited by physical access and fragmented digitisation efforts, with less than 10% currently available digitally. To unlock this potential, DiSSCo UK (Distributed System of Scientific Collections UK, ) - a consortium of over 90 UK natural science collections led by the Natural History Museum - is developing a national infrastructure as part of the UKRI Infrastructure Roadmap. This 10-year program, expected to receive around £155 million in investment, will focus on digitising a critical mass of collections into FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data, supported by robust technology and innovative approaches like AI and robotics. Having already mobilised over 16 million records, DiSSCo UK aims to significantly accelerate digitisation from 2026, creating an unprecedented resource that promises substantial economic returns, efficiency savings for researchers, and groundbreaking research opportunities for a thriving future for both people and planet. About the role As Head of Engineering, you will provide strategic technical leadership for the infrastructure required to deliver the DiSSCo UK programme, working at the intersection of science, data, and large-scale digital services. This is a rare opportunity to shape the national digital platform that will underpin the UK's contribution to DiSSCo and unlock the potential of over 140 million natural science collection items. You will act as the technical authority for platform architecture and underlying infrastructure, leading the design and integration of a secure, sustainable, and scalable ecosystem. This will combine procured cloud-based services, delivered in partnership with AHRC/UKRI and commercial suppliers, with bespoke, mission critical components developed in house. You will own the technical roadmap across built and bought services, ensuring architectural coherence, interoperability and alignment with programme standards. Your focus will be on integrating the full infrastructure: cloud environments, storage solutions, data mobilisation pipelines, publishing workflows and access platforms into a unified national system. You will work closely with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as the primary access service, acting as a key technical partner in delivering globally discoverable biodiversity data. Based within the Natural History Museum's Digital, Data and Informatics department, you will build and lead a high performing engineering team, providing both technical and people leadership as the programme scales. This role offers the opportunity to influence critical architectural decisions from the ground up and to deliver infrastructure with lasting national and international impact. About you We are looking for an accomplished engineering leader who thrives on delivering complex, high impact digital infrastructure (potentially with a start up or research software background). If you enjoy setting architectural direction, owning technical roadmaps, and guiding large scale platforms from specification to delivery, this is the role for you. You bring experience leading small, high performing engineering teams and working in partnership with programme leadership, external suppliers and managed service providers to turn vision into delivery. You are confident operating as the technical authority within a multi partner programme, making key design decisions, resolving trade offs, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and standards compliant. You value collaboration as much as technical excellence. You communicate complex technical concepts with clarity, build credibility with senior stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams, and ensure architectural coherence across diverse organisations and varying levels of technical maturity. Motivated by impact and legacy, you are excited by the opportunity to shape a nationally significant research infrastructure from its formative stages. You enjoy building and developing high performing teams, setting engineering best practice, and delivering robust, user centred solutions that will support the UK research and biodiversity community for years to come. This role could suit a current or former startup CTO, Principal Engineer, or technical founder who has built and scaled digital platforms and teams in complex environments.

This sits alongside the Museum's values and forms the framework for the way we work.

View this career for different education levels: A Sports Reporter in the UK is at the heart of bringing the excitement and drama of sport to the public. This role involves attending sporting events, conducting interviews with athletes, coaches, and other key figures, and then crafting compelling stories for various media platforms. You could be reporting live from a Premier League football match, interviewing a rising star at Wimbledon, or providing in-depth analysis of a Six Nations rugby game. The work isn't just about covering the event itself; it often involves research, fact checking, and understanding the narratives behind the scores. You might work for local newspapers, national broadsheets, specialist sports magazines, radio stations, television channels, or increasingly, for online only publications and digital content providers. Key responsibilities include writing news articles, features, match reports, and opinion pieces; recording audio or video reports; producing content for social media; and often working to tight deadlines. A strong understanding of various sports, excellent writing and communication skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to build a network of contacts are crucial. The job often requires working irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays, to cover live events. While exhilarating, it demands dedication and a genuine passion for sport and storytelling. For entry level sports reporters in the UK, typical starting salaries can range from 18,000 to 24,000 pounds per year. This can vary significantly based on the employer (local newspaper vs. national broadcaster) and location. Experienced Salary Range With several years of experience, sports reporters can expect to earn between 28,000 and 45,000 pounds. Senior roles, especially at major national broadcasters or publications, can command salaries upwards of 50,000 pounds, potentially reaching 70,000 pounds or more for highly prominent figures. Job Market Overview The sports journalism market in the UK is competitive, with a significant number of aspiring journalists. While precise annual job opening figures are hard to pinpoint, the industry consistently seeks talented individuals across print, online, radio, and television platforms. Online media and digital content creation continue to be growth areas. Careers in this path Specialise in reporting on football, including match analysis, player interviews, transfer news, and league updates for websites, newspapers, or broadcasters. This offers a deep dive into the UK's most popular sport. Focus on the rapidly growing world of competitive video gaming. This involves commentating on live esports events (casting) or reporting on team news, player profiles, and tournament results for online platforms. Great for someone with an interest in gaming. Work directly for a professional sports club (e.g., football, rugby, cricket) managing their media relations. This includes writing press releases, creating website content, managing social media, and coordinating interviews for players and management. Build Your Foundation Academic Qualifications Gain relevant academic qualifications that provide a strong theoretical understanding and practical skills in journalism or a related field. Consider a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Sports Journalism, Media Studies or English. These courses often cover news reporting, feature writing, broadcast journalism, media law, and ethics. Look for programmes that offer practical experience, such as student newspapers, radio stations, or TV studios. Some universities may also offer postgraduate qualifications like an MA in Sports Journalism, which can be beneficial if you have a non journalism undergraduate degree. Develop Core Skills Cultivate essential skills needed for a career in sports reporting, focusing on communication and research. Excellent writing skills are paramount - learn to write clearly, concisely, and engagingly for different audiences and platforms. Develop strong verbal communication for interviews and presenting. Research skills are crucial for gathering accurate information and uncovering compelling stories. Additionally, hone your critical thinking, interviewing techniques, and the ability to work under tight deadlines. A deep understanding of various sports is also incredibly helpful. Begin creating a body of work to showcase your abilities and passion for sports journalism. Write for your university newspaper, student sports blogs, or local amateur sports clubs. Offer to report on local matches or events. Start your own sports blog or podcast to review games, interview local athletes, or discuss sports news. Any piece of published or produced work, regardless of how small, adds to your portfolio and demonstrates initiative and a practical understanding of the field. Gain Practical Experience Internships and Work Placements Secure internships or work placements with established media organisations to gain real world experience. Look for opportunities with national newspapers, sports magazines, local radio stations, TV broadcasters, or online sports news outlets. These placements are invaluable for understanding the industry, making contacts, and applying your academic knowledge in a professional setting. You'll often be involved in researching stories, assisting reporters, transcribing interviews, and perhaps even getting your first by line or broadcast credit. Network Within the Industry Connect with professionals in sports journalism to learn from their experiences and identify opportunities.

View this career for different education levels: A Sports Reporter in the UK is at the heart of bringing the excitement and drama of sport to the public. This role involves attending sporting events, conducting interviews with athletes, coaches, and other key figures, and then crafting compelling stories for various media platforms. You could be reporting live from a Premier League football match, interviewing a rising star at Wimbledon, or providing in-depth analysis of a Six Nations rugby game. The work isn't just about covering the event itself; it often involves research, fact checking, and understanding the narratives behind the scores. You might work for local newspapers, national broadsheets, specialist sports magazines, radio stations, television channels, or increasingly, for online only publications and digital content providers. Key responsibilities include writing news articles, features, match reports, and opinion pieces; recording audio or video reports; producing content for social media; and often working to tight deadlines. A strong understanding of various sports, excellent writing and communication skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to build a network of contacts are crucial. The job often requires working irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays, to cover live events. While exhilarating, it demands dedication and a genuine passion for sport and storytelling. For entry level sports reporters in the UK, typical starting salaries can range from 18,000 to 24,000 pounds per year. This can vary significantly based on the employer (local newspaper vs. national broadcaster) and location. Experienced Salary Range With several years of experience, sports reporters can expect to earn between 28,000 and 45,000 pounds. Senior roles, especially at major national broadcasters or publications, can command salaries upwards of 50,000 pounds, potentially reaching 70,000 pounds or more for highly prominent figures. Job Market Overview The sports journalism market in the UK is competitive, with a significant number of aspiring journalists. While precise annual job opening figures are hard to pinpoint, the industry consistently seeks talented individuals across print, online, radio, and television platforms. Online media and digital content creation continue to be growth areas. Careers in this path Specialise in reporting on football, including match analysis, player interviews, transfer news, and league updates for websites, newspapers, or broadcasters. This offers a deep dive into the UK's most popular sport. Focus on the rapidly growing world of competitive video gaming. This involves commentating on live esports events (casting) or reporting on team news, player profiles, and tournament results for online platforms. Great for someone with an interest in gaming. Work directly for a professional sports club (e.g., football, rugby, cricket) managing their media relations. This includes writing press releases, creating website content, managing social media, and coordinating interviews for players and management. Build Your Foundation Academic Qualifications Gain relevant academic qualifications that provide a strong theoretical understanding and practical skills in journalism or a related field. Consider a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Sports Journalism, Media Studies or English. These courses often cover news reporting, feature writing, broadcast journalism, media law, and ethics. Look for programmes that offer practical experience, such as student newspapers, radio stations, or TV studios. Some universities may also offer postgraduate qualifications like an MA in Sports Journalism, which can be beneficial if you have a non journalism undergraduate degree. Develop Core Skills Cultivate essential skills needed for a career in sports reporting, focusing on communication and research. Excellent writing skills are paramount - learn to write clearly, concisely, and engagingly for different audiences and platforms. Develop strong verbal communication for interviews and presenting. Research skills are crucial for gathering accurate information and uncovering compelling stories. Additionally, hone your critical thinking, interviewing techniques, and the ability to work under tight deadlines. A deep understanding of various sports is also incredibly helpful. Begin creating a body of work to showcase your abilities and passion for sports journalism. Write for your university newspaper, student sports blogs, or local amateur sports clubs. Offer to report on local matches or events. Start your own sports blog or podcast to review games, interview local athletes, or discuss sports news. Any piece of published or produced work, regardless of how small, adds to your portfolio and demonstrates initiative and a practical understanding of the field. Gain Practical Experience Internships and Work Placements Secure internships or work placements with established media organisations to gain real world experience. Look for opportunities with national newspapers, sports magazines, local radio stations, TV broadcasters, or online sports news outlets. These placements are invaluable for understanding the industry, making contacts, and applying your academic knowledge in a professional setting. You'll often be involved in researching stories, assisting reporters, transcribing interviews, and perhaps even getting your first by line or broadcast credit. Network Within the Industry Connect with professionals in sports journalism to learn from their experiences and identify opportunities. Attend industry events, sports media conferences, and even local sports press conferences if possible. Use LinkedIn to connect with sports reporters, editors, and producers. Don't be afraid to reach out respectfully for informational interviews or advice.
