What you ll do

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.

• Admin fees and holiday pay (12.1%)
• Travel time at £4.68/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.

• Willingness to complete a DBS check
• Reliable home broadband
• Laptop or tablet with camera

• At least 18 hours available per week
• Flexibility for weekdays, evenings and weekends

Personal qualities:

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.
