The experience of care workers in the United Kingdom is a complex mix of exploitation and job satisfaction. On the one hand, it is characterised by low pay, poor working conditions and few career opportunities, on the other it can be an intrinsically rewarding occupation offering opportunities fordeep relationship building and the 'warm, fuzzy feeling' (Noddings, 2012) associated with caring labour. This summary begins with some headline statistics regarding social care pay and conditions and suggests how the marketisation of care can impact the day-to-day experience of care workers, before introducing more positive experiences reported by care workers. It then glimpses care work through the lens of working class, female and ethnic minority experiences and finally presents evidence showing how problems associated with care work have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

联合王国护理工作者的经历是剥削和工作满意度的复杂结合。一方面，它的特点是工资低，工作条件差，就业机会少，另一方面，它可以是一个本质上有益的职业，提供了建立深层关系的机会和与照顾劳动相关的“温暖，模糊的感觉”（Noddings，2012年）。本摘要首先介绍了一些关于社会护理薪酬和条件的标题统计数据，并提出了护理市场化如何影响护理工作者的日常经验，然后介绍了护理工作者报告的更积极的经验。然后，它通过工人阶级、女性和少数民族经历的透镜瞥见护理工作，最后提出证据，显示与护理工作相关的问题如何因新冠肺炎大流行而加剧。
