Market Researchers – Local Council – £12.50 per hour

Market Researcher

BOURNEMOUTH / CHRISTCHURCH / POOLE AREA

Are you presentable and confident? Do you enjoy talking to the public? We are looking for

members of staff to conduct interviews with members of the public.

This advert is for a temporary post to start mid-May for 2-3 weeks. 

Key Function of This Job

The job involves working in a small team, in the BCP Council area conducting a survey we

are doing for local public sector clients. This involves asking members of the public to

complete a questionnaire by knocking on their door, and leaving a questionnaire behind

with them to collect later.

You may be expected to support some residents to complete the questionnaire should they

need this (for example, if they are blind or partially sighted, or if they can't read or write).

You will then work with other members of the small team, often in pairs, to go to houses in

each area, asking residents at specific addresses or areas (based on maps) to complete a

questionnaire.
