The Chiltern Society has investable funds of approximately £800,000. These are presently managed by an Investment Committee comprising four Trustees (The Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and another Trustee).

These funds are all managed by reputable institutions and are invested in a diversified portfolio of equity and cash-based funds all been chosen after due assessment of investment risk, the prospect for income generation and the potential for long-term capital growth

To further calibrate the strategic thinking of the Investment Committee, the committee would now welcome the input of an individual who would be willing to serve as an External Member in an advisory capacity. The role, which would be non-remunerable, is not envisaged to be unduly onerous –but more rather to act as a ‘critical friend’.

We are therefore seeking an individual who is prepared to challenge and test the Committee’s assumptions and to otherwise guide the thinking underlying the Society’s investment strategy. In terms of commitment the Investment Committee typically meets twice a year, with meetings often held via Teams.

We would expect that the External Member to have a demonstrable record of contributing to investment strategies of organisations operating in the not-for-profit or charitable sector.

Should this role be of interest to you, or if you would like to have an informal discussion to discuss any aspects of it further, then please contact the Society’s Treasurer, Grahame Smith  (Treasuer@chilternsociety.org.uk) who will be happy to provide more information or complete the form below.

Essential:

Field Interviewer - Swindon

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.
