About The Role

Face to Face Social Market Research Interviewer – Mobile, with travel up to 30 miles

Have you ever wondered where statistics like “36% of Britons think the government should reduce income tax” come from?

As a Social Market Research Interviewer, you will be interviewing members of the public, mostly in their homes. You will be provided a device to ask for their opinions on a wide range of subjects, and record their responses. We work on behalf of various clients, from government bodies to public sector organisations. Your data collection will support improvements in public services, shape governmental & corporate policies, and influence public policy across the UK.

We regularly recruit throughout the UK. If you are over 18, personable & confident in meeting new people, have a vehicle & a valid UK driving licence, and want to earn money while impacting public policy, then this is the role for you!

Pay & Benefits:

• £15.12* per hour (£13.50 per hour + £1.62 holiday pay) outside London, a £500 joiner bonus**, plus travel expenses, with potential to earn more as your experience grows.
• £18.15* per hour (£16.20 per hour + £1.95 holiday pay) within the M25 in London, a £500 joiner bonus**, plus travel expenses, with potential to earn more as your experience grows.

You will engage with a wide variety of people daily. Building rapport and encouraging participation are key aspects of the role. Some assignments will be local; others may require travel up to 30 miles or more. We provide comprehensive fully-paid training to ensure your success. Our training team will support you during your first day in the field and remain available throughout.

Payment Structure:

• Initially, you will be paid hourly. After your probation, payment will be results-based, earning more per successful interview, along with bonuses and incentives.
• New joiner Bonus is paid when transitioning to payment by results, typically at 12 weeks.

Job Opportunity:

This flexible customer service and market research role allows you some control over your working hours, though we ask for a commitment of at least 16-20 hours per week, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends, when research in people's homes is most successful. You can adapt your schedule around other commitments like childcare or other employment.

You will knock on doors to secure participation, with training provided to enhance your success. We facilitate engagement by writing to participants in advance and scheduling appointments that suit both parties. Participants may receive incentives to take part, giving them a voice to influence public policy.

You’ll be assigned to a large area, potentially traveling up to 30 miles or more. Mileage is paid, and access to a car or another vehicle is required, especially for roles in London where alternative transportation options may be available.
