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!

Pay & Benefits:

• £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 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 more as your experience grows.

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

Some assignments will be local; some may require travel up to 30 miles or 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 and remain available throughout your employment.

Payment Structure:

• Initially paid by the hour; after probation, paid by results for each successful interview, with bonuses and incentives.
• New joiner Bonus paid when moving to payment by results, typically at 12 weeks.

Job Opportunity:

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

You will be knocking on doors to secure participation. We provide training and support to help you succeed. Participants are often contacted in advance and may be offered incentives to participate.

You’ll be assigned to a large area and may need to travel up to 30 miles or more; mileage is paid. Access to a car is generally required, especially for roles in London, where alternative transportation options are available.
