“Without his support we wouldn't have been able to navigate bringing and keeping Dad at home.”
Checked means we check identity and right to work and require an enhanced DBS certificate before a carer can use the platform, and carers record an online interview about their experience and approach to care. We do not check qualifications, training or references. You choose your carer, and remain responsible for checking their skills, training and documents suit your needs. See what we check, and what you check.

“Ivanka was always cheerful and happy, she was brilliant promoting Elizabeth’s autonomy and choices even though Elizabeth is barely able to speak now.”
Ivanka provided live in 24 hour care for my sister Elizabeth a number of times this year, filling in while Elizabeth’s regular carer took leave. I have always found Ivanka to be excellent in every aspect of her role. Elizabeth has a relatively rare Neurological condition called PSP and I found that Ivanka was very…

“Florie is friendly, caring and reliable and goes out of her way to make sure my Dad is cared for.”
Florie is friendly, caring and reliable and goes out of her way to make sure my Dad is cared for. Having someone I can depend on, as I live in Australia, is a great weight off my mind.

“Mario was an amusing and affectionate companion - he for example looked out my father's favourite music, engaged him in conversation and made sure he was as comfortable as possible.”
I am very happy to be given the opportunity to highly recommend Mario da Assuncao N. Mario was the primary carer for my father over a period of almost two years. My father was aged 100, had suffered a fall and, though mentally fully alert, was physically incapacitated. The care was in my father's own home where Mario…

“She is just one of those people that looks around, sees what needs to be done and does it.”
I would have given her 6 stars if I had been able. She is really bubbly and puts you at your ease, which is really important in personal care. Once she finishes the key tasks she just gets on with lots of other work without being asked. She is just one of those people that looks around, sees what needs to be done and…

The Checks
How Do We Check
Private Carers?
ID and right to work
We check identity online with Yoti, a digital identity service, and right to work in the UK with a Home Office share code or passport.
Enhanced DBS Certificate
We ask carers on the platform to hold an accepted criminal-record check (Enhanced DBS issued within the last 2 years, DBS Update Service, Scottish PVG or Access NI), with renewal or rechecks depending on the accepted route.
Online Interview
Every carer records an online interview, in their own time, so we can understand their experience, communication style and approach to care. This is not a clinical assessment or a guarantee of suitability. Check a carer’s skills, experience and training with them before booking.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform and does not provide, manage, supervise or clinically assess care.
Clients remain responsible for checking carer documentation, interviewing carers, checking suitability for their specific needs, and agreeing the scope of care directly with the carer.
