Have you ever wondered where stats like “ 36% of Britons think the government should reduce income tax ” come from?

We're recruiting throughout the UK, if you are over 18, personable & confident when meeting new people, have a vehicle & a valid UK driving licence, and want to earn money whilst impacting public policy - then this is the role for you!

£13.55 per hour (£12.10 per hour + £1.35 holiday pay) outside London, a £500 joiner bonus, plus travel expenses :

  • and the opportunity to earn even more as your experience grows.**

You will be knocking on people’s doors using light sales techniques; we make engaging with them easier by writing to them in advance; and calling people to make appointments.

You will get to speak to a wide variety of people each day and a key part of the role is being personable and being able to clearly show people why spending a little bit of their time to take part is worthwhile.

You give them a chance to have their say and influence public policy.

Some assignments will be very local to you; travel up to 30 or so miles can be necessary.

This is a flexible customer service, or sales role so you’ll have some control over when you work, although we ask you to commit to at least 12 hours a week. Beyond this flex your time around other commitments like childcare, caring, or other roles.
