Welsh speakers are strongly encouraged to apply.

This role involves speaking with people in communities across Wales and helping make sure their views are heard.

Get paid to find out what people are thinking in Wales and make a difference.

As a Field Interviewer, you will visit people in your local area and carry out in-home research interviews on issues that matter. You will help organisations and public bodies better understand people's experiences, views and needs across Wales.
