Enjoy a role with real flexibility! Our Casual Interviewer roles are perfect if you're looking for work that can fit around your other commitments. We offer 6-hour shifts between 10am and 9pm, giving you the option to pick up shifts that suit your schedule. Most of our work takes place during evenings and weekends.

As a Casual Interviewer, you'll be paid per completed survey, so the more you work, the more you earn! We offer competitive rates and pay all fees, holiday pay and travel expenses fortnightly. We'll also deduct your tax and NI contributions, making things simple and straightforward.

Contracted role is ideal for those who want the stability of guaranteed hours and salary. We offer contracts of 5 working days per week, 50% of which need to be worked at evenings and weekends. Our contracts are offered on a 12 month fixed term basis and salaries start at £16,000 per year and can rise to £24,000 depending on the number of hours worked and where in the UK the role is based.

Travel expenses are paid and in some roles you can earn a performance bonus if certain targets are met. Salary and expenses are paid fortnightly and tax and NI contributions are deducted from your pay.

You do not need experience to join our interviewer panel as full training is provided but if you are an experienced interviewer and currently work, or have worked as a Field interviewer for another company within the last two years, you can be fast tracked on to our panel.

If you choose to do the Face to Face interviewer role on a casual basis you have the flexibility to work for other companies alongside us. We also have contracted roles available (28 or 35 hours per week) for interviewers who want full time work and will commit to interviewing for Ipsos only.

For the first six weeks which is classed as the training period we will support you throughout your training, while you gain some experience and build on your performance. During this training period you will be given a target number of survey interviews to achieve and a set number of hours that it should take you to achieve this. For the first 2 assignments, you will be paid per interview achieved and we will assess your call patterns and performance and will top up payment if correct call patterns have been achieved.

This depends on the surveys you are working on as they all attract different rates of pay. Typically you can expect to get up to £90 per working day (an hour’s travel is included in this pay). We also pay mileage and approved expenses on completion of your assignment.

You will enter your payclaims on a regular basis and submit them for approval before the pay run deadline which will be given to you on joining the panel. Once approved, these will be processed in our fortnightly pay run direct into your bank account.

Each survey interview is different but a typical one will take between 20 and 30 minutes.

This is dependent on a number of factors such as the length and content of the survey and who you need to interview to meet the quota or project specification. For each project we set a daily target of interviews to achieve based on all of these factors. To work out the number of interviews you need to achieve each day, we also include a certain amount of ‘find time’ which allows for the time it takes to knock at addresses to find the people suitable and available to be interviewed. On a standard 20 minute quota survey, we would expect an interviewer to achieve 7 interviews in a 6 hour working day.

This is dependent on your availability and the number of projects you want to work on. Once our interviewers build up their skill level on certain projects, they will be offered other types of work which means that you can increase your hours if you have the availability. If you are also willing to travel to other areas (accommodation and subsistence is paid for this), then this further opens up the number of projects or work we have available to offer you.

We expect a minimum of 18 working hours a week which must include some evening hours (past 5pm) and either a Saturday or a Sunday each week.

Yes, both mileage and public transport costs are reimbursed. Mileage is paid at 20p per mile for training and then 32p per mileage when working on projects.

We have a regular Capibus survey that runs most weeks, this is comprised of questions from different clients and is usually the first project a trainee interviewer works on. We also have a number of high profile Media tracker projects throughout the year. Alongside these, we work on a number of complex Public Affairs projects and smaller ad hoc projects. We have a variety of work to suit different skills and interests of our panel of interviewers.

All Training is provided through a virtual platform and we ask you to attend all virtual Sessions, Accreditations and successfully complete all online modules on our Learning Management System, before you are offered any work. The Training allows you to understand the role and the company and identify whether it is something that you wish to do. It also allows us to assess whether we think the role is suitable for you.

You will be paid for successfully completing all online modules and accreditations and for specific coaching sessions.

You will be paid every fortnight directly in to your bank account. You will need to complete a weekly timesheet recording the hours and projects that you work on and any expenses to be reimbursed.

We offer two contracts either 28 hours (4 days) or 35 hours (5 days). Our core working hours are between 11am and 9.00pm and at least 50% of your time should be worked evenings and weekends.

You are entitled to 22.5 days based on a 35 hour per week contract plus public holidays.

Depending on the region you are in, you will usually be asked to work within the local areas. However, you may be expected to travel up to 70 miles from home if you live in a rural area of the country. If you are applying for a role in an area where you are expected to travel higher distances on a regular basis, this will be discussed with the Region Manager before you agree to take the job.

We expect that travelling time will take up to 7% of your weekly work.
