Job Opportunities with 2011
Census 
With the next Census taking place in March 2011, recruitment is
underway for a range of flexible, short-term roles across the
Malvern Hills district. Census day is the 27th
March and to ensure its smooth running on the ground, the Office
for National Statistics (ONS) has appointed ‘Capita’ to fill some
35,000 jobs across the whole of England and Wales.
There are a number of different roles
available – census collectors and special enumerators will go out
into the community and encourage people to fill in the
questionnaires. Census coordinators will manage this process.
In addition, census coverage survey (CCS) staff will carry out
doorstep interviews with the public.
James Roe, Director of Census Recruitment
says:
“Census jobs offer people a unique chance to
get involved in a national project that has the potential to
deliver real benefits to themselves and their local
community. We are looking to find individuals who can spare
some time, to help gather the information we need in their area and
earn extra money whilst helping to change things for the
better.”
Roles will be full or part-time, for a few
weeks or several months and will require a range of skills so there
really is something for everyone. If you are looking to boost
your income and gain new skills in the process, it’s an ideal
opportunity.

The 2011 census is set to be the biggest yet
and it is important that all residents fill out the forms in
March.
Chris Bocock, Chief Executive of Malvern Hills
District Council says:
“In the ten years since the last census,
people will have come and gone, families will have grown,
expectations and lifestyles will have shifted and so the face of
local communities will have changed. The census is vital in
measuring these changes, helping us to plan for the future by
developing and improving public services within the Malvern Hills
district. “
