What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTemporary Field Interviewers - to conduct interviews, collect household data and provide support to complete online surveys with members of the public.
Field Interviewers at ONS conduct interviews, collect household data and provide support to complete online surveys with members of the public for a number of official surveys, to help inform Government about the state of the nation. Sampled addresses for ONS interviewers to visit are nationally spread and ONS currently has a fieldforce of c500 permanent interviewers. This represents a shortfall of interviewers across England, Wales & Scotland in certain locations within which Contingent labour is required on a fixed term basis to provide ONS field interviewer resource.
A specialist recruitment agency is required to source and place candidates to fulfil the ONS field interviewer role in specified areas on a fixed term basis.
