Field Interviewer

Field Interviewer - Bournemouth

Department: Field Interviewers

Employment Type: Part Time

Location: Bournemouth

Compensation: £15.12 / hour

You’ll visit people in their homes to carry out vital research interviews on important topics like health, housing and transport. Using a tablet or laptop, you’ll guide conversations that capture real experiences of daily life in Britain.

This is not a desk job. You’ll be out in your community, knocking on doors. People receive a letter beforehand, but they’re not always expecting you. Some won’t answer. Others will say no. That’s completely normal and part of the role.

But when someone says yes and shares their story? You’ll know you’ve helped create change that improves people’s lives.

• £20–£30 per interview (typically), plus:
• Admin fees and holiday pay (12.1%)
• Travel time at £4.68 per hour (most projects) for travel to the area you are working in
• Mileage at 36p per mile (up to 10,000 miles)
• £250 bonus after your launch, then £250 more at two months and four months

Average hourly rate: £15.12 (including holiday pay), with experienced interviewers earning more.

• Valid UK driving licence and sole use of a car
• Class 1 business insurance
• Right to work in the UK
• Willingness to complete a DBS check

• Flexibility for weekdays, evenings and weekends
• Strong verbal and written English

• Good at talking to people
• Friendly and professional
• Resilient and confident
• Self‑motivated and independent
• Having good time management and prioritising skills

This role is ideal if you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, admin, driving, sales or any customer‑facing role. You don’t need research experience. We’re looking for reliable people who enjoy helping others and want flexible, part‑time hours that fit around other commitments.

This role requires the use of a personal vehicle for work purposes. Candidates must hold a valid driving licence and have appropriate business use car insurance in place. It is the individual’s responsibility to ensure that this insurance is valid and active prior to commencing employment and maintained throughout their engagement with Nat Cen.
