Join Ipsos and take on a role that gets you out and about in your local area. As a Field Market Research Interviewer, you’ll travel across bus routes and stations, speaking with passengers to help improve public transport across the UK.
What the Role Involves
- Each shift is based on a specific route, stop, or station.
- You’ll be provided with everything you need, including a tablet, survey materials, and ID, to carry out your work confidently.
- During your shift, you will:
- Approach passengers and invite them to take part in a short survey
- Ask a set of structured questions and accurately record responses
- Capture feedback on their journey and experience
- Occasionally count passenger numbers (footfall)
- Shifts may vary:
- Some involve travelling on a bus for the full route
- Others are based at a bus stop or station (typically around 3 hours)
- You’ll be working independently, often in public-facing environments, so confidence and resilience are key.
What to Expect
- Paid per shift (rather than hourly)
- Typically around 2 shifts per week, depending on local demand
- Flexible, part-time work that fits around other commitments
- Free travel on the bus services you are surveying
- Opportunities for additional work and performance-based earnings
This role can involve early starts, varied locations, and approaching people who may not always want to take part, but it’s also a great way to work flexibly and meet a wide range of people.
Why Join Ipsos?
- Comprehensive, award-winning training
- Supportive team environment and ongoing guidance
- Access to employee discounts
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:
- Are confident speaking to members of the public
- Are comfortable working independently in different locations
- Can stay motivated, even when responses are low
- Have a full driving licence and access to a car
- Are happy travelling locally and working on buses
- Are looking for flexible, ongoing fieldwork opportunities
