The 2011 Census is fast approaching and on behalf of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), 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.

What are the roles?
Through 2010 Capita will be recruiting for a number of census roles on behalf of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), many of which can be fitted around full-time employment or other commitments.
They will be recruiting for the following full- or part-time roles from 4 January 2010:
• Address Checker
Outdoor work to verify addresses from lists and maps to make sure ONS has the right information for posting out and tracking 2011 Census questionnaires.
• Address Checker Co-ordinator
A managerial role looking after a team of up to 12 Address Checkers and efficiently deploying the team across the given area to get everything checked within the set timescale.

Both roles will run from 4 May 2010 until 7 August 2010.

What is the census?
In England and Wales the census is planned and carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). A census in England and Wales is run every ten years. Every household is asked to complete a census questionnaire. This information is used by ONS to provide population estimates which government, local authorities and other organisations use to fund, plan and deliver public services such as healthcare, education, housing and transport.
You can also register your interest for jobs that will be available later in the year: Area Managers and Census Co-ordinators to lead and motivate teams, as well as Census Distributors, Collectors and Special Enumerators to knock on doors, collect questionnaires and offer help and advice on completing them. We will also be recruiting Census Coverage Survey & Non Compliance staff in early 2011.
Make some time. Make some money. Make a difference.
