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 organizations. 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 when 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!

Salary: £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 you gain experience.

Within London (M25), the rate is £18.15* per hour (£16.20 per hour + £1.95 holiday pay), with the same bonus and expenses.

You will speak to a variety of people daily. A key part of the role is being personable, building rapport, and encouraging participation.

Some assignments are local; others may require travel up to 30 miles or more. Travel expenses are covered.

We provide comprehensive fully-paid training. Our training team supports you in-person on your first day and remains available throughout your employment.

• Initially, pay is hourly. After probation, pay shifts to results-based, earning more per successful interview, plus bonuses and incentives.
• New joiner bonus is paid when moving to payment by results, typically at 12 weeks.

Job Opportunity

This flexible customer service and market research role allows you to control your schedule, with a commitment of at least 16-20 hours per week, primarily in afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Evening and weekend work tends to be more successful for research in people's homes. You can also adjust your hours around other commitments like childcare or other jobs.

You will be knocking on doors to secure participation, with training provided to improve your success. Engagement is facilitated through pre-written communication and appointment setting. Participants may receive incentives for their participation, giving them a voice in public policy.

You’ll be assigned to a large geographic area, requiring travel up to 30 miles or more. Mileage is reimbursed. Access to a car is generally necessary, especially outside London; alternative transport options are available within London.

If interested, please apply below. You will be invited to a Microsoft Teams interview within a few days.
