The role is not office-based and requires you to work within a roughly 40-mile radius of an allocated location. Work will be allocated to fit contracted hours within this area, so you should consider your home location relative to your chosen location.

• Travel within a 40-mile radius of the advertised location to reach respondents.

Requirements

• Live within a 10-mile radius of the location and be able to travel to addresses within 40 miles.
• Interviews between 09:00–20:00, with flexible hours across mornings, afternoons, and evenings; Saturdays may be required.
• Experience using a laptop and a smartphone.
• Self-disciplined, self-motivated, and able to work without supervision.
• Excellent verbal communication skills and enjoyment of meeting people.
• Have a broadband internet connection at home before starting.

Essential Requirements

• Eligibility under UK immigration rules and Civil Service eligibility.
• Full valid UK Driving Licence with car use for work purposes (including EU Nationals rights).
• Proof of Identity.
• Broadband internet at home before taking up the offer.

Competencies

• Communication and Influencing
• Problem Solving and Prioritisation
• Resilience
• Ability to use technology will be assessed.

Selection Process

Assessment at application will consider work history, skills and experience, and a personal statement. Successful applicants will be invited to a video interview lasting 30–45 minutes. Be prepared to provide evidence during the interview and to discuss the required competencies.

Security

Successful candidates must undergo Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks and a criminal record check.
