Project
Assistants
The
job of Project Assistant is one of those aspects of
the project that often goes unrecognised. Yet our Project
Assistants play an invaluable role in survey collection
and keeping track of participants.
The
Project Assistants are usually university students whom
we employ part-time in the first or second year of their
university life. Many of them stay working with us until
their degree is completed and they then go on to start
their chosen career.
The
job involves phoning up to 5,000 participants to remind
them to complete the survey, and completing surveys
by phone interviews.
Project
Assistants also 'track' participants for whom WHA has
no current details, i.e. mail has been 'returned to
sender'.
