Field Interviewer - Wales (Welsh and English required)

Field Interviewer - Wales (Welsh and English required)

Department: Field Interviewers

Employment Type: Part Time

Location: Home-based, UK

Compensation: £15.12 / hour

Description

You’ll visit people in their homes to carry out vital research interviews on important topics like 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 will say no. That’s completely 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.

Chwaraewch rôl hanfodol wrth helpu’ch cymuned i gael ei llais. Fel cyfwelydd gyda NatCen, byddwch yn siarad â phobl ar draws eich hardal leol ac yn rhoi cyfle iddynt rannu eu profiadau, eu barn a’u safbwyntiau ar y materion sy’n bwysicaf iddynt. Mae eich gallu i siarad Cymraeg yn golygu y gallwch gysylltu’n fwy naturiol, meithrin ymddiriedaeth a sicrhau bod pob llais yn cael ei gynrychioli’n gywir. Mae hwn yn waith ystyrlon sy’n canolbwyntio ar bobl, lle mae eich sgyrsiau’n cyfrannu’n uniongyrchol at ymchwil sy’n llywio penderfyniadau ac yn siapio gwasanaethau ar draws y DU.

Average hourly rate: £15.12 (including holiday pay), with experienced interviewers earning more.

• Class 1 Business insurance

Who this suits
