“We still (over two years later) see Rose as part of our extended family and invite her to our celebrations.”
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.

“I’d say Snjezana is the best live in we’ve had here. She would get up early in the morning and make herself busy cleaning and tidying before anyone else was up.”
I’ve known Snjezana as primarily my father’s live in carer and to some extent my mother’s also. My mother’s needs were minimal but my father’s dementia was quite extreme. His behaviours were challenging to say the least. The overall situation involved Bluebird Care, the local council, the Memory Clinic and the GP. My…

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.
