Job description

Overview

Department: Data Collection Delivery, External Field

Employment Type: Part Time

Location: Home-based, UK

Compensation: £15.12 / hour

Description

A car is essential for this role.

To apply, you must have:

• A valid UK driving licence
• Sole use of a car
• Class 1 Business Insurance (you’ll need to purchase this)

Average earnings:

The average interviewer earns £15.12/hour (£13.50 per hour + £1.62 holiday pay), with the opportunity to earn more, the more interviews you achieve.

If a month’s completed interviews would take your salary below minimum wage, we will pay the difference.

You’ll also receive a £250 joining bonus to get you started

What’s the role about?

As a Field Interviewer, you’ll visit people in their homes to carry out vital research that shapes public policy from healthcare to education. Using a tablet, you’ll guide conversations to collect real insights into daily life in Britain.

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be out knocking on doors, often unannounced. Some people won’t answer. Some will say no. You’ll face tough moments, but when someone says yes and shares their story, you’ll know you’ve helped influence real change.

What we’re looking for

• Resilient, confident communicators
• People who bounce back after rejection
• Independent, self-motivated workers
• Comfortable using basic tech (+ home WiFi)

You must be able to commit to at least 18 hours a week, including evenings and weekends. You’ll also need to complete a DBS check, have the right to work in the UK, and access to a laptop or tablet for training.

No research experience needed. If you’ve worked in a role where you support or interact with members of the public, or customers you’ve already got the right skills.

Hiring Process

Fast. Simple.

1. Apply online
2. Video interview (via Willo, do it anytime, anywhere)
3. Final interview (includes a short role play)
4. Offer & background checks (all digital)
