Responsibilities

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Visit assigned households and confidently initiate conversations at the door
  • Build rapport quickly, manage refusals and objections respectfully, and ensure informed consent
  • Conduct accurate, structured interviews on a wide range of topics
  • Record observations, follow safety and privacy protocols, and maintain strict confidentiality

WHO IS BEST SUITED FOR THIS ROLE

  • Resilient relationship-builder: You bounce back from a “no,” stay friendly and professional, and try the next door with the same energy.
  • Empathetic communicator: You listen well, handle sensitive topics with care, and adapt your style to suit different households.
  • Organised self-starter: You manage your time, plan routes, keep tidy records, and meet targets without constant supervision.
  • Tech-comfortable: You’re confident with tablets and following on-screen scripts/protocols.
    Nice-to-have: experience in field interviewing, door-to-door outreach, call centre/customer service, community work, or education services.
