My wife also got a call about 2 weeks ago stating that she was on a panel and they would get back to her in 2 weeks to let her know or not at all.
She's still waiting

How did you wife get on? Any follow up phone call?

Apologies for reviving an old thread - I see the recruitment for this position for the 2022 Census has just launched today (CSO website).

The information booklet says candidates have to be available for 43 hours/week. I'm wondering if anyone who has done it previously can indicate whether it involved 43 hours per week, and whether this was 9-5 or more flexible (evenings/weekends)?

Thanks in advance!

I'll ignore the sticky post so - this will probably be relayed at interview... I was only a regular enumerator not a supervisor. My supervisor definitely had commitments on certain times and days of the week but the hours of a supervisor are going to be different, after all their little underlings might need them at different times of the day to drop off extra blank forms (particularly if you're based in a city and your enumerators can't drive, you'd be delivering all their extra documents to them) or dropping to an area to do a few houses with an enumerator (particularly if there had been trouble in the area). As an enumerator, we had flexibility and you'd need it as obviously not everyone is in their house all day but I never worked past sundown because of being in a strange area at night (though I had an extremely safe area and near the end to help some people who were trying to finish up their areas to get them over the line). But the supervisors would be handling a lot of stuff behind the scenes for their entire team as well so I suspect that is just to flag the workload and that you'd be "on" for most of the day, most of the week.

Sorry formatting went a bit weird there, I was just trying to flag near Census Day and near the end, my field supervisor went out and helped the team with getting the forms out, that was a lot of hours for him but that was part of a big push to get Census done (and we did!) :)
