Census jobs up for grabs

The 2011 Census is fast approaching and on behalf of the Office for National Statistics, Capita is starting to recruit for hundreds of temporary jobs around the country to help it run smoothly.

If you or anyone you know can spare some time to help gather information about your area – during the day, in the evenings or at weekends – you can earn yourself some extra cash.

Through 2010, recruitment will take place for a number of Census roles, many of which can be fitted around full-time employment or other commitments.

Up to 35,000 staff will be recruited to work from local communities across England and Wales to support the 2011 Census.

Staff will be recruited to fill a range of posts, including:

Address checkers
Area managers
Census co-ordinators
Census collectors
Special enumerators.

Recruitment for address checkers and address checker co-ordinators starts in January 2010, followed by a succession of field staff recruitment campaigns through to January 2011.

2011 Census staff will be employed directly by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), with ONS contractor, Capita, running recruitment, training and payroll services.
