CPI Data Administrator / Collector – 2 Days per month
A CPI data administrator / collector is responsible for collecting the prices of specific items on a monthly basis in a selection of retail premises across a dedicated town or city. This important work impacts every industry in the country and is conducted on two set days every month - always a Monday and Tuesday - with the potential for a short collection on a Friday in some areas.
CPI Collectors work approximately 12-15 hours over these two set days per MONTH, although it may take longer initially while learning store layouts.
If you are over 18, have a vehicle & a valid UK driving licence, and want to earn money whilst visiting shops - then this is the role for you!
From April 2024: £13.44 per hour (£12.00 per hour + £1.44 holiday pay) outside London, plus travel expenses.
We will provide you with comprehensive fully-paid training to set you up for success in the role.
