Electoral Registration Canvassers
£12 per hour plus Mileage
CASUAL: evenings/weekends Allocated Areas throughout West Oxfordshire

About the role…
We are looking to recruit ten people to undertake canvassing work in the period from mid-October to mid-November 2021.
The main duties are summarised in the attached job description, and involve visiting/making contact with properties that have not responded to a canvass form asking them to confirm that the electoral information held by the Council is correct, or to tell us what needs to be changed. In most cases, the most effective time to be visiting properties will be evenings and weekends.
Appointed canvassers will be allocated an area which will be, where possible, the most convenient for them geographically. It will not be possible to sub-divide any of the ten areas.
For this purpose, the District of West Oxfordshire will be divided into the ten areas covered by the electoral divisions of the Oxfordshire County Council, i.e.
Burford & Carterton North
Hanborough & Minster Lovell
Carterton South & West
Witney North & East
Charlbury & Wychwood
Witney South & Central
Chipping Norton
Witney West & Bampton
Eynsham
Woodstock
It should be noted, that the majority of areas throughout the district are rural with larger/towns and settlements, with the exception of Witney North & East and Witney South & Central which is predominately urban. Please refer to the electoral divisions which sets out the villages and towns for each of the ten divisions.
All properties from which a response/information is outstanding will need to be visited to ascertain information from the household, at least once. It is not possible to be certain how many such properties there will be in each of the ten areas but we estimate a total of 6-8,000 across the district.
Full training will be provided, including in the use of a dedicated Tablet device, which will be used by canvassers.
