Find a home carer in Austin Village
Compare local carers who have passed our ID, right to work, DBS and interview checks, read reviews from families nearby and contact them directly.
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.

“She is the real deal, the real life Mary Poppins that we didn't think existed.”

She looked after my Dad (who has very high care needs) when he had to go to hospital and was up all night staying with him, barely getting any rest. My Dad has had to go back to…

“My mum would not eat, drink, bath nor sleep without her. In short, she was FAMILY and we loved her dearly”
She was a very lovely lady. She took care of my late mother who suffered from dementia . My mother wanted to follow her to Africa. My mum would not eat, drink, bath nor sleep without her. In short, she was FAMILY and we loved her dearly

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.
