Vetted means we check identity and right to work and require an enhanced DBS certificate before a carer can use the platform, and we interview carers about their experience and approach to care. 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.

Hilda was a live in carer for my step-mother from April to November. My stepmother then moved to a care home as she had lost mobility and her home had become unsuitable. Before Hilda we had several live in carers who found my stepmother's restlessness challenging. Hilda was always very patient with my stepmother and…

Edward collected me and took me home after I had surgery. It made all the difference that he was so friendly and helpful, even arriving at the hospital early so he was ready when I was, and driving very safely and smoothly and well as being such a nice chap. Can't recommend him enough.

I can never thank Lucy enough for the fantastic care she gave my mother or for the support she gave to the rest of the family.

Lucy is an outstanding carer. She provided live-in care for my mother for almost 4 years. My mother had extremely complex medical needs, all of which Lucy coped with extraordinarily well. She kept my mother safe and well throughout the pandemic when family were unable to visit. Lucy is a highly skilled and dedicated…

She handled the new situation in front of her with such professionalism and I felt I could trust her 100%.

I highly recommend Tabi for live in care work. She has spent 3 weeks with our dear mum over Christmas, who is bed bound and highly vulnerable. Tabi cared for her with such kindness and compassion. She had very busy days with double up care and hoisting etc. She handled the new situation in front of her with such…

The Checks

How Do We Check
Private Carers?

Full ID Check

A Full ID check including right to work in the UK. We use a government approved service called Yoti to verify carer ID applications online.

Enhanced DBS Certificate

We ask carers on the platform to hold an accepted criminal-record check (Enhanced DBS issued within the last 18 months, DBS Update Service, Scottish PVG or Access NI), with renewal or rechecks depending on the accepted route.

Professional Interview

We interview every carer online to 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.

See every check carers complete in the checks carers complete.
