Join us in shaping the future through meaningful conversations!

As a Field Interviewer, you will be on the front lines of data collection, engaging with individuals in their homes and bringing their insights to light. Your role is crucial to influencing public policy and services across the UK. Armed with a tablet, you’ll guide discussions that explore the rich tapestry of everyday life—from personal routines to the challenges faced by communities.

This is not a typical office role; you’ll be out in your local area, meeting the public. While participants will have received advance information about the study, they may not always be prepared or willing to engage. Expect a mix of responses—some doors may close, others may remain unanswered, and rejection could be a frequent companion. However, for those with resilience and an upbeat spirit, each ‘no’ is simply a step closer to a ‘yes’. When someone opens up to you, the impact of your conversations becomes palpable, knowing you are contributing to meaningful change in public services and community support.

We seek individuals who are not only adaptable and confident but also possess exceptional interpersonal skills. If managing rejection motivates you, and you thrive on impactful discussions, this opportunity may be just what you’re looking for!
