Market Research Interviewer - Galashiels
Department: Field Interviewers
Employment Type: Part Time
Location: Galashiels
Compensation: £15.12 / hour
Description
What you'll do
You'll visit people in their homes to carry out vital research interviews on important topics such as 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 may say no. That’s normal and part of the role. 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)
* Admin fees and holiday pay (12.1%)
* Travel time at £4.68/hour for travel to the area you work in
* Mileage at 36p per mile (up to 10,000 miles)
* £250 bonus after launch, then £250 more at two and four months
* Average hourly rate: £15.12 (including holiday pay), with experienced interviewers earning more
What you’ll need
* 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
* Good time‑management and prioritisation 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.
