What is the census?
The census takes place once every ten years and is a count of our population and housing. It’s the largest and most complex statistical exercise undertaken in Northern Ireland and provides a benchmark on the size of our population. Census statistics are also used by central and local government, health providers, academia, commercial businesses and others to develop policies and plan services. The next census is planned for 21st March 2021 and will be managed by the Census Office within the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).
What roles are currently available and where?
NISRA is seeking to recruit Census Team Co-ordinators and Enumerators across Northern Ireland. These are temporary appointments from February/March to May 2021.
What will my responsibilities be?
As a Census Team Co-ordinator, you will work from home and you will have direct responsibility for a small field team of Enumerators. The role will include training, supporting and effectively managing your team of Enumerators and monitoring enumeration progress in the area for which you are responsible.
As an Enumerator, you will work from home and carry out enumeration duties in your allocated Enumeration District (ED). The main focus of the role will be following up with all households from which a census form has not been received.
Both roles are key in ensuring the success of Census 2021.
