The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is recruiting more than 1100 community minded part-time Area Supervisors, in every corner of NSW and the ACT, for the Census on August 9.
Area Supervisors will oversee the distribution and collection of approximately 14.2 million Census forms to Australia’s 9.8 million households.
Area Supervisors are also responsible for recruiting, training and managing a team of ten Census Collectors.
NSW Census Director, Mark Harding, said the Area Supervisors were crucial to the quality of the data produced and the overall success of the Census.
“The people selected to be Area Supervisors will make an enormous difference to the quality and accuracy of the data that comes from the Census,” Mr Harding said.
“Collecting accurate data is vital in every community to assist with local planning for services such as hospitals, roads, transport and schools.”
Mr Harding says the ABS has increased the salaries of Area Supervisors in recognition of the fantastic work they do.
“These are rewarding part-time jobs that pay between $4300 and $7500, with the bonus of contributing to life in your community,” Mr Harding concluded.
Positions opened last Saturday, February 12, 2011.
