Independent Qualitative Researcher

I have six years experience as an independent qualitative researcher, in the field of social care, supported by a professional qualification and career in social work. I have significant experience of qualitative methodology, questionnaire design, interview delivery, analysis and report writing.



I am able to deliver high quality, small to medium scale, individually tailored research/evaluation projects based on either telephone interviewing or in-depth face-to-face interviews. I carry out all evaluation work personally, to guarantee consistent research analysis and reporting.

There are many research consultancies and Universities providing large-scale research teams with prices to match. I work on projects with tight budgets, short-term deadlines and very specific needs. Projects typically range between £500 and £10,000, and I am able to commit to research projects of up to twelve months duration.

I am particularly skilled at applying an analytical eye to frame the research whilst retaining the goals of the initial proposals in collaboration with the commissioning agency. I am an effective communicator and able to empathise with people in distress and from a variety of backgrounds. I am highly motivated, committed and an accessible colleague, as the evidence on page 3 testifies.

I have a current CRB check and am registered with the General Social Care Council.

I am a published author and several of my reports are

available to read on the World Wide Web.   Please click here to view some examples.
