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, including government bodies and public sector organizations. Your data collection will support improvements in public services, influence governmental & corporate policies, and shape public policy across the UK.

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

Pay rates:

• £15.12* per hour (£13.50 per hour + £1.62 holiday pay) outside London, plus travel expenses, a £500 joiner bonus**, and potential earnings growth.

Job Opportunity

This is a flexible customer service and market research role, offering some control over your working hours. We ask for a commitment of at least 16-20 hours per week, mainly in afternoons, evenings, and weekends, as research in people's homes is more successful during these times. You can also flex your schedule around other commitments.

You will knock on doors to secure participation, aided by comprehensive training.

Participants may receive incentives to take part, giving them the chance to influence public policy.
