Job description

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, 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 when meeting new people, have a vehicle & a valid UK driving license, and want to earn money while impacting public policy, then this is the role for you!

Salary: £15.12* per hour (£13.50 per hour + £1.62 holiday pay) outside London, with a £500 joiner bonus** and travel expenses. Opportunities to earn more as your experience grows.

In London (within M25): £18.15* per hour (£16.20 per hour + £1.95 holiday pay), with a £500 joiner bonus**, plus travel expenses. Earning potential increases with experience.

You will speak to a variety of people daily, building rapport and encouraging participation. Some assignments will be local; others may require travel up to 30 miles or more.

We provide comprehensive fully-paid training to set you up for success, with support from our dedicated training team both in-person on your first day and throughout your employment.

• Initially paid by the hour; after probation, paid by results, which can increase your earnings through successful interviews, bonuses, and incentives.
• New joiner Bonus paid when transitioning to payment by results, typically after 12 weeks.

Job Opportunity

This flexible customer service and market research role allows some control over your schedule. 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 tends to be more successful during these times. You can adjust your hours around other commitments.

You will knock on doors to secure participation, with training provided to help you succeed. We assist in engaging participants by contacting them in advance and scheduling appointments that suit both parties. Participants may receive incentives for their involvement.

You will be assigned to a large geographic area, requiring travel up to 30 miles or more, with mileage paid. Access to a car or another vehicle is typically necessary, especially outside London, although alternatives are available within London.
