Recruitment of local people for Census 2021

Recruitment of local people for Census 2021

The first phase of Census 2021 recruitment in England and Wales has started and the Office for National Statistics has approached parish councils for help to recruit local people.

Local people make the census, and ONS will be hiring thousands of people over the coming months.  Anyone who is interested in any of the roles can register now at www.censusjobs.co.uk   

The first adverts for the census engagement manager roles go live on the website above from 7 July 2020.  The deadline to apply for these roles is 31 July 2020.  The salary range for these roles is from £18.87 to £24.56 per hour dependent on location.  The contracted hours are 37 per week, the hours are flexible but will include some evening and weekend work.

You will see adverts locally, in the press, on social media.  ONS have asked that local authorities share these details as widely as possible –  a job description, which signposts to the Census job pages, is shown here.
