Caroline joined the Nottingham University Business School's Operations Management and Information Systems division as an Enterprise Fellow in March 2017. She carries out research to help eradicate domestic servitude in the developed world, looking specifically at home-based personalised social care.

Her research has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the charitable foundation Trust for London and the charity Anti-Slavery International and her current research focuses upon modern slavery risk in the home care sector. She has contributed to national and international public consultations by the Joint Committee on Human Rights; the Labour Market Inspectorate; the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration and the Home Affairs Select Committee, the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms and the Canadian Government. She has spoken about her work in English Adult Social Care at the House of Lords and designed and delivered national and regional workshops on the modern slavery risks in adult social care for local government and the NHS.

As an academic she has held a Nottingham Research Fellowship in the University of Nottingham's Rights Lab, lectureships in Management and Retail Management at The Open University, UK research-council funded posts as a Research Fellow in the behavioural aspects of customer-responsive supply chain management and a competitive PhD studentship investigating actors' inter-organisational information system use in retail supply networks.
