Interviewers - Face-to-Face
Among our many important and long running research projects, Roy Morgan is very proud to announce we have secured a very prestigious face to face national study: the Domestic Tourism Statistics study funded by the Federal Government department of Austrade. This is a significant project for Roy Morgan, and this is your chance to be part of the action as we embark on this world leading and groundbreaking project.
The Domestic Tourism Statistics (DoTS) survey measures domestic travel across Australia and will be combined with other data to reflect the domestic tourism industry. We’ll capture survey data by asking respondents a series of questions about their recent day, overnight and overseas trips and ask where they went, what they did and what they saw when they were away, within the survey. This data feeds into the Australian National Accounts and contributes to the estimates of the national economy and will help drive the future of Australia’s tourism industry.
As a Field Research Officer, you will undertake professional and accurate data collection (including observations and interviewing) of the public with neutrality in asking questions and gathering respondent responses. Of course, there is some administration as well to ensure all the records are accurate and up to date. For this project, you will be in the field meeting people and travellers gathering survey data and opinion on a range of topics relating to domestic tourism across Australia. You need to be comfortable engaging with people – both in helping them understand the importance and benefits of participating in the survey and asking survey questions in line with the project you are assigned to. You will engage with people from all walks of life and be able to enjoy the flexibility of working independently and managing your own workload.
At Roy Morgan there are plenty of opportunities to work on a range of projects. You will start working on one project and depending on how you go and how many hours per week you are wanting to work, other opportunities follow. We are wanting people who are able to be available to work 20+ hours per week including weekdays and weekends (must commit to this for at least 3 weeks out of each month). If you want, you could be working full time hours. We are that flexible!

To be a successful Field Research Officer you will:

• Enjoy engaging with, and able to relate to, people from diverse and different backgrounds and experiences.
• Have market research interviewing experience or equivalent interviewing/customer engagement experience.
• Be professional, have a high level of integrity and possess mature social skills.
• Be available to work 20+ hours per week including weekdays and weekends.
• Hold a valid driver’s licence, and access to a reliable, registered vehicle.
• Hold a National Police Check (or willingness to obtain).

• Have fluent English language proficiency (spoken and written English).Have a legal right to work in Australia.

• This is a fantastic opportunity suiting people who have research interviewing experience or similar skills in teaching, training, HR, performing arts, retail, call centres – in fact if you love talking to people, we’d love to talk to you. If you’re semi-retired or retired this is also a perfect job for you!

Successful applicants will have the potential to earn great rates:

• $34.19 p/h
• $0.95 per kilometre for use of your own vehicle (where applicable)
• Reimbursement for job related expenses application fees for required checks.
