Why This Role Stands Out
This hybrid role offers a competitive hourly rate and the chance to contribute to impactful research that shapes society. You'll thrive if you are a confident communicator who enjoys engaging with people in their communities and values flexibility. Apply today to make a tangible difference and develop your interview skills!
Quick Overview
Job Description
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.
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.
What you'll need
Essential:
• 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
• Reliable home broadband
• Laptop or tablet with camera
• Comfortable using basic technology
• At least 18 hours available per week
• Flexibility for weekdays, evenings and weekends
• Strong verbal and written English
Personal qualities:
• Good at talking to people
• Friendly and professional
• Resilient and confident
• Self-motivated and independent
• Having good time management and prioritising skills
Who this suits
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.
Our process is quick and straightforward :
· Apply online
· One-way video interview (via Willo – do it anytime, anywhere)
· Final interview (includes a short role play)
· Offer
· Background checks (via Zinc)
· Start work
