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!

You will get to speak to a wide variety of people each day and a key part of the role is being personable, showing people why spending a little bit of their time to take part is worthwhile.
Some assignments will be very local to you; some assignments will require travel of up to 30 miles, occasionally more.
We will provide you with 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 in the field and remain available throughout your time with us.

About the RoleThis is a flexible customer service, market research or sales role so you'll have some control over when you work, although we ask you to commit to at least 16-20 hours per week - across afternoons, evenings and weekends. The nature of research in people's homes means we are more successful in the evenings & weekends. Beyond this flex your time around other commitments like childcare, caring, or other employments.
You will be knocking on people's doors to secure participation and we provide comprehensive training to help you be more successful. We make engaging our Participants easier by writing to them in advance; and when you meet with people, you can also make appointments that works for the Participant and you. You give people the chance to have their say and influence public policy, and sometimes they are offered an incentive to take part in the research.
