Job description

Overview

Role: Market Research Interviewer - Part Time - Motherwell

Department: Data Collection Delivery, External Field

Employment Type: Freelance

Location: Home-based, UK

Compensation: £13.50 / hour

Responsibilities

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

• Visit households to conduct interviews as part of national social research
• Use a tablet to guide conversations and collect data
• Engage with respondents to obtain accurate, meaningful insights

What we’re looking for

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

Requirements

You must be able to commit to at least 20 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 have access to a laptop or tablet for training.

A car is essential for this role. A valid UK driving licence, sole use of a car, and Class 1 Business Insurance (you’ll need to purchase this).

Compensation and incentives

The average interviewer earns £13.50/hour, with the opportunity to earn more the more interviews you achieve. If a month’s interviews would reduce salary below minimum wage, we will pay the difference. You’ll also receive a £250 joining bonus to get you started.
