Field Interviewers, Post Census Review Survey
Australian Bureau of Statistics – Bunbury WA
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is seeking motivated and community focused individuals to join our team as Field Interviewers, for the Post Census Review (PCR) Survey across Australia.
The Post Census Review (PCR) is one of the largest household surveys conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). It is undertaken shortly after each Census as an independent assessment of how accurately people and dwellings were counted.
About the role
Field Interviewers play a vital role in collecting high quality information for one of Australia's most important national surveys. You will approach selected households to invite participation in an ABS survey. Interviews may be conducted face to face in a respondent's home, or over the phone from your home office, depending on operational requirements.
You will:
* Conduct short interviews using a notebook computer
* Communicate clearly and professionally with members of the public
* Work independently while being supported by a wider team
You will need to be comfortable using computers, as all interviews are completed electronically. Full paid training in ABS systems and processes will be provided.
Position eligibility requirements
This role requires the following:
* Ergonomically sound home office with a private, secure space to complete work with reliable internet connectivity (the ABS will provide the required laptop and phone).
* Access to a reliable, fully insured vehicle and a current, non-provisional, Australian driver's licence before you start (a Motor Vehicle Allowance of between 80.54c and 98.53 cents per kilometre (depending on engine size) is paid for the use of your vehicle).
* Applicants must be an Australian citizen at the time of application.
* Successful applicants will be required to undergo pre employment checks, including a National Police Check, referee checks, and (where required) a pre employment medical assessment.
What we're looking for
We're looking for reliable, professional people who enjoy working with the community and can communicate clearly with a wide range of individuals.
You'll be a good fit if you:
* Are confident approaching people, and explaining information clearly
* Have strong interpersonal and listening skills
* Are comfortable working independently, and managing your own schedule
* Have basic computer skills, and are willing to learn new systems
* Can follow procedures accurately, and handle information confidentially
* Are available to work flexible hours, including some evenings and weekends
Previous experience in customer service, field work, interviewing, or community engagement is beneficial but not essential — comprehensive training is provided.
