Field Market Research Interviewer, Paid per Shift, Car Required

Join Ipsos and take on a role that gets you out and about in your local area. As a Field Market Research Interviewer, you’ll travel across bus routes and stations, speaking with passengers to help improve public transport across Scotland.

What the Role Involves

Each shift is based on a specific route, stop, or station. You’ll be provided with everything you need, including a tablet, survey materials, and ID, to carry out your work confidently.

During your shift, you will:

\n
• Approach passengers and invite them to take part in a short survey
\n
• Ask a set of structured questions and accurately record responses
\n
• Capture feedback on their journey and experience
\n
• Occasionally count passenger numbers (footfall)
\n

Shifts may vary:

\n
• Some involve travelling on a bus for the full route
\n
• Others are based at a bus stop or station (typically around 3 hours)
\n

You’ll be working independently, often in public-facing environments, so confidence and resilience are key.

What to Expect

\n
• Paid per shift (rather than hourly)
\n
• Typically around 2 shifts per week, depending on local demand
\n
• Flexible, part-time work that fits around other commitments
\n
• Free travel on the bus services you are surveying
\n
• Opportunities for additional work and performance-based earnings
\n

This role can involve early starts, varied locations, and approaching people who may not always want to take part, but it’s also a great way to work flexibly and meet a wide range of people.

Why Join Ipsos?

\n
• Comprehensive, award-winning training
\n
• Supportive team environment and ongoing guidance
\n
• Access to employee discounts
\n

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:

\n
• Are confident speaking to members of the public
\n
• Are comfortable working independently in different locations
\n
• Can stay motivated, even when responses are low
\n
• Have a full driving licence and access to a car
\n
• Are happy travelling locally and working on buses
\n
• Are looking for flexible, ongoing fieldwork opportunities
\n
