Careers
Help us build the future of data & AI training
What we believe
We're building the UK's most practical data and AI training company. These values guide how we work.
Learn by doing
We practise what we teach. Every team member is hands-on: we build, we test, we iterate. No ivory towers.
Impact over activity
We measure ourselves by what changes for learners and employers, not by how busy we look.
Practitioner-first
Our coaches and team bring real industry experience. We welcome people who learned on the job, and career changers who have put the skills to work.
Ambitious and honest
We set high bars and are candid when we don't hit them. Growth comes from facing reality, not avoiding it.
What you get
Fixed-term contract roles are on PAYE and come with the same holiday, pension and laptop, with holiday worked out pro rata.

Safeguarding and safer recruitment
Our commitment to keeping learners safe
iO-Sphere is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our learners, and we expect everyone who joins us to share that commitment. We operate within regulated further education environments, so every role goes through safer recruitment checks.
Roles that involve working with learners require an enhanced DBS check, and safeguarding and Prevent training. All applicants must complete their application honestly and in full, and consent to the checks required for the role.
A criminal record does not automatically stop you from being considered. We assess each case individually, looking at the nature of the offence, how long ago it was and its relevance to the role.
Checks before you start
Identity and right to work in the UK. We cannot offer sponsorship.
Qualifications. Where the role requires them.
Enhanced DBS check. We'll guide you through the process.
References. Requested at conditional offer stage, with your consent.
Overseas checks. If you have lived or worked abroad, we may ask for a criminal record check from that country.
Questions about safeguarding or our checks?
Email our Designated Safeguarding Lead at safeguarding@io-sphere.io. We're happy to talk through anything before you apply.
