Job Summary

The Interviewer/Outreach Worker operates as a member of a multidisciplinary, collaborative research team. The Interviewer recruits and prescreens potential participants, conduct structured interviews of eligible research participants enrolled in the relevant projects, and assists in data collection, data cleansing, and data entry resulting from interviews. The Interviewer/Outreach Worker also performs outreach activities and connects people with community services as needed.

Organizational Status

The Interviewer/outreach worker position is positioned within Dr. Deering's Research Program within the UBC Division of Social Medicine at the Department of Medicine.

Work Performed

Recruits potential participants, provide information and answer questions about research studies.

Conducts quantitative structured interviews with eligible participants and performs outreach for follow-up interviews.

Conducts outreach and interviews off-site at community services and/or other facilities with varying environments (e.g. drop-in centres, shelters, non-profit residences, private SROs, health care facilities, and public spaces in inner city settings) using approved transportation options.

Reviews questionnaires for completeness and accuracy.

This position works with a high degree of independence and responsibility and exercises a considerable amount of judgment. The incumbent will work in a designated, appropriate workspace. Travel to meetings may be required from time to time.

Consequence of Error/Judgement

Works within well-defined guidelines and procedures but exercises judgment in establishing priorities and carrying tasks through to completion; new or unusual problems are referred to the supervisor.

This position entails a high level of confidentiality and discretion. Failure to maintain research and program information in confidence could result in damage to credibility and poor relations with internal and external partners. Errors in judgment could result in serious financial or reputational consequences, undermining the project's ability to meet commitments, including the inability to successfully meet granting agencies' deliverables. Poor public/private sector relationships could result in a negative image of UBC and may impact levels of research funding made available through partnerships. Errors could result in significant concerns regarding the liability, credibility, and integrity of the Faculty and the University.
