Census 2011 logoCensus 2011

What is the census?
In England and Wales the census is planned and carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) every ten years. Every household is asked to complete a census questionnaire. This information is used by ONS to provide population estimates which government, local authorities and other organisations use to fund, plan and deliver public services such as healthcare, education, housing and transport.

Future recruitment
Recruitment for the census will continue throughout 2010 and into 2011. You can register your interest in management and field staff roles via the recruitment website http://www.censusjobs.co.uk/. You will automatically be reminded to formally apply when we begin accepting applications for the role(s) you are interested in.
