My name is Pinak Mapari, and I am an MSc student at Imperial College Business School.

My team is researching the day-to-day experience of care workers in London, and we are hoping to speak with care staff for short 15 to 20 minute conversations. Entirely voluntary, nothing recorded without explicit permission, and no identifying details kept unless agreed.

If, you, or members of your team can spare a little time to support this research, please contact Pinak – pinak.mapari26@imperial.ac.uk
