Welsh speakers are strongly encouraged to apply.
This role involves speaking with people in communities across Wales and helping make sure their views are heard.
Get paid to find out what people are thinking in Wales and make a difference.
As a Field Interviewer, you will visit people in your local area and carry out in-home research interviews on issues that matter. You will help organisations and public bodies better understand people's experiences, views and needs across Wales.
This is about listening, not selling. People you visit will usually have received a letter beforehand, but they may not be expecting you. A key part of the role is explaining why the research matters, putting people at ease and helping them feel comfortable taking part.
Using a NatCen device, you will guide conversations and accurately record responses. Every interview provides valuable insight that helps shape services, transport, policy and community decisions across Wales.
