We are currently tracking 1,146 live vacancies matching SQL jobs in the UK, advertised by 478 different employers. 168 of them were first seen in the last seven days. The most active employers in this slice are Vservices, Coursereport, Technocred and Wearemarmion. Every role is detected on the employer's own careers page rather than reposted from another board, so what you see here is the vacancy as the employer wrote it.
Of the 1,146 roles, 167 publish a salary. The median advertised ceiling is £60,000. The middle half of the market sits between £40,000 and £97,250, so anything above the upper figure is a genuinely strong offer for SQL jobs in the UK. Contract day rates are annualised at 230 working days a year, so permanent and contract pay compare like for like.
On working pattern, 26% are fully remote, 32% are hybrid and 1% are contract rather than permanent. By seniority, 66% at mid level and 16% at senior level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for SQL in this slice most often ask for it alongside Python, AWS, Azure, JavaScript, C# and Java. That co-occurrence is counted from the live listings on this page, not from a fixed list, so it moves with the market.

Questions about these roles
How many SQL jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 1,146 live vacancies across 478 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
What do SQL jobs in the UK pay?
The median advertised ceiling is £60,000, based on the 167 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £40,000 to £97,250. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.
Can these roles be done remotely?
26% are advertised as fully remote and 32% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
1% are contract or fixed-term and the remainder are permanent or unstated. A quoted day rate is treated as contract even when the advert does not use the word.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Vservices, Coursereport, Technocred, Wearemarmion and Synergy Rec. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often Python, AWS, Azure, JavaScript and C#. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
How much does a SQL developer earn in the UK?
£60,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 9% above the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 979 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Can you work from home as a SQL developer in the UK?
661 of the 1,146 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 299 fully remote and 362 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate SQL developer jobs in the UK?
41 of the roles on this page read as graduate or junior level, which is 4% of what is live. Level is read from the job title, so a role advertised without one is counted as mid-level and may still be open to less experience.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Data Analyst, Front End Developer, Data Engineer, Software Engineer and Front End Developer - Development. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
How much experience do these roles need?
The largest group is mid level (66% of the page). Seniority is read from the job title, so a role that does not signal a level in its title is counted as mid-level.
