What you'll do

You'll visit people in their homes to carry out vital research interviews on important topics like health, housing and transport. Using a tablet or laptop, you'll guide conversations that capture real experiences of daily life in Britain.

This is not a desk job. You'll be out in your community, knocking on doors. People receive a letter beforehand, but they're not always expecting you. Some won't answer. Others will say no. That's completely normal and part of the role.

But when someone says yes and shares their story? You'll know you've helped create change that improves people's lives.

What you'll earn

£20-£30 per interview (typically), plus: • Admin fees and holiday pay (12.1%) • Travel time at £4.68/hour (most projects) for travel to the area you are working in • Mileage at 36p per mile (up to 10,000 miles) • £250 bonus after your launch, then £250 more at two months and four months

Average hourly rate: £15.12 (including holiday pay), with experienced interviewers earning more.

What you'll need

Essential: 

• Valid UK driving licence and sole use of a car 

• Class 1 Business insurance 

• Right to work in the UK 

• Willingness to complete a DBS check 

• Reliable home broadband 

• Laptop or tablet with camera 

• Comfortable using basic technology 

• At least 18 hours available per week 

• Flexibility for weekdays, evenings and weekends 

• Strong verbal and written English

Personal qualities: 

• Good at talking to people

• Friendly and professional 

• Resilient and confident 

• Self-motivated and independent 

• Having good time management and prioritising skills

Who this suits

This role is ideal if you've worked in retail, hospitality, admin, driving, sales or any customer-facing role. You don't need research experience. We're looking for reliable people who enjoy helping others and want flexible, part-time hours that fit around other commitments.

Resource Planning Manager

Do you want to use your workforce management experience to help a charity support more people, more effectively? 

Are you looking for a role where your planning and analysis skills can make a real difference? 

We’re looking for a Resource Planning Manager to join our Performance and Planning team and help ensure our operational resources are used in the most effective way to support our clients and colleagues. 

This is a key role within StepChange, responsible for real-time performance, short-term resource planning and long-term workforce forecasting across a multi-channel contact centre environment. It’s a great opportunity for someone with strong workforce planning experience who wants to take ownership, influence decision-making and contribute to meaningful outcomes in a purpose-driven organisation.

Working closely with the Head of Performance and Planning and colleagues across operations and performance teams, you’ll provide insight and planning that supports service delivery today, tomorrow and into the future.

What you’ll be doing 

You’ll oversee workforce planning activity across our contact centre, helping deliver the right balance between demand, capacity and service for our clients.

You’ll manage real-time performance on the day, ensuring resources are used as effectively as possible and responding to emerging challenges. You’ll also lead short-term planning and scheduling, making sure future days are appropriately resourced and performance risks are understood.

Alongside this, you’ll take ownership of longer-term forecasting and planning, including monthly predictions and contributing to longer-term strategic planning. You’ll work hands-on with data and reporting, understanding why forecasts or performance vary and helping develop practical solutions.

You’ll provide clear, concise performance insight that can be used by operational teams and senior leaders, and play a key role in improving how we use our Genesys workforce management platform.

You’ll manage a team of three experienced colleagues, encouraging collaboration and professional development whilst playing a key leadership role across the wider workforce planning team, supporting effective ways of working and continuous improvement.

No two days will be the same – from managing real-time performance, to improving forecasting models, supporting new resourcing approaches and helping shape future planning.

About you 

You’ll have experience in workforce planning within a multi-channel contact centre environment and be confident working with modern workforce management platforms (experience with Genesys is desirable).

You’ll be organised, analytical and comfortable taking ownership, with the ability to communicate complex information clearly to a range of stakeholders. You’ll enjoy working collaboratively, bring a hands-on approach to problem-solving and be motivated by making a meaningful difference.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to improve how resources are planned and deployed and contribute to a service that supports people when they need it most. If you’re excited by accountability, challenge and impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion  

Equality, diversity, and inclusion are incredibly important to us; we have a culture of belonging. We’re always looking to increase the diversity of our workforce to ensure we can provide the best service possible for everyone. It’s not just about the professional experience you bring – we’re interested in who you are and your potential. If there’s an adjustment to our recruitment process that would help you to be your best, speak to our team and they’ll be happy to help.

About Mercy Corps

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future.

Program Summary

The PROPEL Africa Project (Pathways to Resilience, Opportunities, Professional Employment and Learning) aims to address the persistent challenge of youth unemployment and underemployment in Liberia, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. Currently, young people encounter systemic barriers to securing dignified employment, arising from misalignments between skills development and labour market needs, and inadequate access to financial resources. Implemented by JA Africa and Mercy Corps, PROPEL responds to these challenges through a dual approach: equipping underserved youth aged 15–30 with relevant, demand-driven business, employability, and life skills, while simultaneously improving the way the labour market works for young people.

Position Summary

The PROPEL Program Director provides overall vision, strategic leadership, and management for the PROPEL Africa program, ensuring high-quality implementation across Liberia, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. The Director leads joint governance structures with JA Africa, manages program coherence and results, oversees technical and operational teams, and ensures safe, effective, and impactful delivery. The Director also represents PROPEL with donors, governments, and regional partners, positioning the program for sustainability and scale.

• Oversee regional and country implementation, work planning, reporting, and compliance with donor and Mercy Corps standards.

Maintain coherence between JA Africa and Mercy Corps roles, ensuring effective coordination.

• Ensure safeguarding, Do No Harm, GESI, and youth engagement principles are embedded.
• Drive adaptive learning approaches through collaboration with MEAL and technical teams.

Representation & Partnership Management

• Serve as primary donor representative for PROPEL; lead reporting and communication.
• Strengthen partnerships with private-sector actors, government bodies, financial institutions, and ecosystem enablers.
• Promote visibility and thought leadership on youth employment across Africa.

Team Leadership & People Management

• Create and sustain a work environment of mutual respect where team members strive to achieve excellence.
• Supervise and support regional technical leaders and country teams.
• Promote a culture of collaboration, accountability, and professional development across partner organizations.
