Brighton, United Kingdom Perspective Research Full time

As a Field Researcher at our company, you'll embark on journeys commissioned by leading transport organizations to make important contributions to the improvement of transportation services across the country.
- Your mission: to collect invaluable public feedback that shapes the future of travel services._

This project is conducted on-board busses, at bus stops, and at bus stations. Other than some remote supervision, as a field representative you'll independently manage your own shift on-site.

Your main responsibility is to simply recruit and encourage respondents to participate in a survey by using a quick 1-2-minute screening questionnaire. Participants then complete the survey on their own.

**Locations**

Bus shifts operate at various bus stop clusters and routes running across Bristol & West of England. Locations include Portslade, Hangleton, Hove, Patcham, as well as Eastbourne, Rye, Seaford & Ore. Travel expenses are covered as mentioned below.

**Shift Patterns & Pay**

Embrace flexibility in this versatile role, perfect for retirees, students, or full-time workers looking to supplement their income. Shifts dates can be booked to fit into a schedule that works for you weeks in advance.

Shifts are only 2.5 hrs to 4 hrs long, and range from £14.73 p/h to £19.66 p/h depending on the shift length, shift time, & shift location. Benefit from premium rates for early morning, evening, and weekend shifts. We provide coverage for public transport costs, mileage, and necessary parking expenses.

You'll receive your pay 1 month in arrears on the 28th of each month.

**Project Commencement Week of the 10th June**

Upon passing an initial screening call, you will be invited to complete an Online Training Workshop & Assessment. If successful, you will then be accompanied on your first shift with someone experienced to provide support and help familiarize you with the practical aspects of the role.

There is an opportunity to be offered work on a variety of other research projects depending on your performance.

**Why work for us?**
- **Flexible Schedule**: This role is incredibly flexible, allowing you to choose the shift volume you want, making it easy to balance with other commitments like studies, family, or another job.
- **Expense Coverage**: We cover your public transport costs and mileage expenses, and we even provide paid travel time for journeys that exceed 1 hour.
- **Make a difference**: be at the forefront of driving positive changes in the way people experience transportation
- **Exploration**:Embrace the opportunity to travel and adventure across different routes and locations in the region

**What We Expect From You**:
