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 all kinds of different clients, from government bodies to public sector organisations. The results of your data gathering will support improving 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 when meeting new people, have a vehicle & a valid UK driving licence, and want to earn money whilst impacting public policy - then this is the role for you!

£15.12* per hour (£13.50 per hour + £1.62 holiday pay) outside London, a £500 joiner bonus**, plus travel expenses - and the opportunity to earn even more as your experience grows.

£18.15* per hour (£16.20 per hour + £1.95 holiday pay) when you live within the M25 in London, a £500 joiner bonus**, plus travel expenses - and the opportunity to earn even more as your experience grows.

You will get to speak to a wide variety of people each day, and a key part of the role is being personable, building rapport, and encouraging participation.

Some assignments will be very local to you; some will require travel of up to 30 miles, occasionally more.

We will provide comprehensive fully-paid training to set you up for success in the role. Our dedicated training team will support you in-person during your first day in the field and remain available throughout your time with us.

• Initially, you will be paid by the hour. After completing your probation, you will be paid by results, earning more for each successful interview, plus bonuses and incentives.
• New joiner Bonus is paid when an Interviewer moves to payment by results, typically at 12 weeks.

Job Opportunity

This is a flexible customer service and market research field role, giving you some control over your working hours. We ask for a commitment of at least 16-20 hours per week, mainly during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Research success is higher during evenings and weekends, but you can also schedule around other commitments like childcare or other jobs.

You will be knocking on people's doors to secure participation. We provide training to help you succeed, including pre-communication with participants and scheduling appointments that suit both parties. Participants may receive incentives for their participation.

You’ll be assigned to a large area, potentially traveling up to 30 miles or more. Mileage is always paid. Access to a car is generally required, especially for roles in London, where alternative transportation options are available.
