Some of the main surveys conducted by CSO Household Survey Interviewers are the Labour Force Survey (LFS), the Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC), and the Household Budget Survey (HBS). The CSO arealso recruiting through this campaign for interviewers to work on the Growing Up in Ireland survey – the national longitudinal study of children in Ireland which has been following the progress of c.20,000 children and their families since 2006.

You will be contracted to work 25.15 hours per week. 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 March 2025 is €387.85 (ppc) per week. A different rate will apply where the appointee is not required to make a Personal Pension Contribution (non ppc). In addition to this, there is also the potential to earn an additional completion payment of up to 13% of grosspay 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 training in a specified location which will last approximately 2 weeks, with 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. On-going training and support will be provided by your appointed Coordinator, who will be your first line of contact with the CSO and will manage your work on a day-to-day basis. 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. Household survey interviewers are the CSO representatives at doorsteps across the country and must at all times carry out their work in a professional and respectful manner.
