Field Sales Rep - Remote Flexible - Kirkcaldy

Department: Data Collection Delivery, External Field

Employment Type: Freelance

Location: Home-based, UK


Description

Out on the doorsteps, in tune with the nation.

As a Social Research Interviewer, you’ll play a vital role in capturing the voices that help shape public policy and services across the UK. You’ll visit people in their homes, using a tablet to guide conversations that uncover real stories about daily life — from routines and opinions to the challenges people face.

This isn’t a desk job — you’ll be out in the community, knocking on doors in your local area. While the people you visit will have received a letter about the research, they might not always be expecting you — or even want to take part. You’ll get doors closed, refusals, or no answer at all. That’s part of the job — and it can be tough at times. But if you're the kind of person who doesn’t take it personally and can bounce back with the same energy at the next door, this could be the perfect role for you.

What makes this role special is when someone says yes. When they open up and share their thoughts, you’ll know you’ve captured something that could genuinely improve public services and support for communities.

You’ll need resilience, confidence, and excellent people skills. If you're comfortable with rejection, motivated by meaningful conversations, and enjoy working independently, this could be the perfect role for you.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

We’re looking for someone who’s curious, confident, and driven by the desire to make a real difference. This role isn’t always easy — you’ll face knockbacks, unanswered doors, and the occasional difficult conversation. That’s why resilience matters just as much as people skills. You’ll need to bounce back quickly, stay positive, and keep going with the same level of energy. If you thrive on meaningful conversations, enjoy working independently, and are passionate about contributing to research that shapes public policy and services, we’d love to hear from you.
