Successful Survey Interviewers may be asked to work on a number of different surveys which may include but not limited to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), the Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC), and the Household Budget Survey (HBS). The CSO are also recruiting through this campaign for interviewers to work on the new baby cohort of Growing Up in Ireland – the national longitudinal study of children in Ireland which has been following the progress of c.20,000 children and their families since 2006. More information on CSO Household Surveys can be found on the CSO website: Requirements for the position • Education requirement: intermediate certificate/junior certificate or equivalent; • Hold a current full driving licence and have the full use of a car for the hours spent working on the survey: • Fluent English both written and spoken; • Proven experience of personal interaction with the public ideally through face to face and telephone interviewing, practical social work or related work; • Good IT software skills, e.g., Microsoft Office 365 and MS Teams; • Availability to work flexible hours.

You will have flexibility in working these hours, but there is a requirement for evening and Saturday work – you are not required to work any Sundays. We have found that the best times to interview households tend to be between 4pm and 8pm, though this may vary depending on the area you are in. Households are willing to give up their free time to participate in our surveys and it is important that you are as flexible as possible to find a time that suits them to participate. Where will I be working? Your work assignments will be based on your home location and will branch out from there. You may need to travel further from home at times and the distance of the travel will depend on whether your location is urban or rural in nature. Flexibility in relation to travel is required at times to meet the demands of individual surveys. Your area of work may change from time to time. What will I be paid? Starting rate of pay effective 1st October 2023 is €333.98 per week. In addition to this, there is also the potential to earn an additional completion payment of up to 13% of gross pay depending on response rates achieved. Civil service mileage rates apply for any work-related travel in addition to other allowances which may be payable. What training will I receive? All household survey interviewers will receive comprehensive training on the role before starting work. This usually involves initial on-site training in the Cork Office over 5 days, with a further on-site and online training sessions depending on which surveys you will be working on. Quarterly, regional in-person training sessions are also organised, as well as ad-hoc training sessions from time to time.

What is expected of me? Minimum expected response rates will apply to each of the surveys on which you work, and you will be expected to achieve these rates.

The board will select a group for interview who, based on an examination of the application forms, appear to be the most suitable for the position.
