Job Description

As a Field Interviewer, you will play a vital role in capturing the voices that shape public policy and services across the UK. You will visit people in their homes, using a laptop to guide conversations that uncover real stories about daily life - from routines and opinions to challenges faced.

This role involves going out into the community, knocking on doors in your local area. While recipients will have received a letter about the research, they may not always expect or want to participate. You will encounter refusals, no answers, and closed doors. Resilience, confidence, and excellent people skills are essential. If you are comfortable with rejection, motivated by meaningful conversations, and enjoy working independently, this could be the right role for you.

The reward comes when someone agrees to share their thoughts, knowing you are contributing to improving public services and community support.

About Us

We are Britain's largest independent social research organization, helping shape policies on transport, education, healthcare, and housing. Our work is trusted by government, charities, and universities because it reflects real experiences. We have a nationwide team of over 700 interviewers and nurses conducting community surveys to better understand Britain.

Recruitment Process

Our process combines human expertise with technology:

• Application
• One-Way Video Interview (via Willo)
• Final Interview (including role plays)
• Offer
• Hired

Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise

We seek curious, confident individuals driven to make a difference. Resilience is crucial to handle knockbacks and difficult conversations. If you enjoy meaningful conversations, working independently, and contributing to impactful research, we want to hear from you. Requirements include:

• A valid UK driving license and sole use of a car
• Class 1 Business insurance
• The right to work in the UK
• Willingness to complete a DBS check
• Reliable broadband at home
• A laptop or tablet with a camera
• Confidence with basic technology
• At least 20 hours per week availability
• Flexibility for weekdays, evenings, and weekends
• High standard of English (verbal and written)

Previous experience in customer service, retail, hospitality, admin, driving, freelance, or sales is beneficial but not essential. Friendly, reliable people who enjoy helping others are ideal. This role offers freelance-style flexibility, part-time hours, and the chance to work around other commitments.

Benefits & Pay

This freelance role offers flexible hours and performance-based pay, typically earning £18-£20 per interview, plus admin fees and holiday pay (12.1%).

Additional benefits include:

• Travel time paid at £4.68/hour
• A £250 bonus after your two-day launch, plus two more £250 bonuses after two and four months of active work

Average earnings are around £15.12 per hour (including holiday pay), with potential for higher earnings with experience.

At The National Centre for Social Research, we believe social research can improve lives. By understanding people's experiences and opinions, we give the public a voice in shaping services that matter to everyone. As a not-for-profit organization, we focus on delivering impactful social research for society.
