Field Interviewer - Birmingham

Responsibilities

• 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.
• What you'll earn
• £20-£30 per interview (typically), plus: - 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.
