Department: Data Collection Delivery, External Field

Employment Type: Freelance

Location: Home-based, UK

Out on the doorsteps, in tune with the nation.

As a Biomedical Fieldworker, you’ll play a vital role in collecting the health data that helps shape public services and improve the nation’s wellbeing. Working independently in your local area, you’ll visit people in their homes to gather high-quality biomedical information — through conversation, physical measurements, and blood samples.

You’ll be the face of our health research. You’ll know you’re contributing to something genuinely important. Your work will help inform major studies like the Health Survey for England, the Scottish Health Survey, and the National Diet and Nutrition Survey.

• Collecting biomedical data from participants in their homes
• Taking physical measurements (e.g. height, weight, blood pressure)
• Collecting venous blood samples under clinical standards

We’re Britain’s largest independent social research organisation. Every day, we help shape policies that impact millions of people — from transport and education to healthcare and housing.

Our work is trusted by government departments, charities, and universities because it’s powered by the real experiences of people like you. And that’s where you come in.

With a nationwide team of over 700 interviewers and nurses, we go out into communities to ask the questions that matter — the ones that help Britain understand itself better.
