- **Empathetic communicator**: You listen well, handle sensitive topics with care, and adapt your style to suit different households.
- **Organised self-starter**: You manage your time, plan routes, keep tidy records, and meet targets without constant supervision.
- **Tech-comfortable**: You’re confident with tablets and following on-screen scripts/protocols.
- Nice-to-have_: experience in field interviewing, door-to-door outreach, call centre/customer service, community work, or education services.

**Why you should apply**
- **Purpose with impact**: Your work will contribute to vital data that supports decision-making at the highest levels.
- **Flexibility with structure**: Choose your weekly schedule (with minimum hours) and work close to home where possible.

- Availability of 20+ hours per week (including one weekend day; flexibility to add hours at peak times)
- Current driver’s licence and a reliable, registered vehicle
