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.

“Over the time he spent with them he got to know our parents very well and became like part of the family, even joining in family celebrations.”
Abdu Mugenyi cared for our parents in their own home for just over two years enabling them to continue living there as long as possible. He was a very attentive carer and was extremely perceptive to all of their needs, some of which are fairly complex. His communication with the family was excellent with an update…

“She also skillfully encouraged Mum to get her appetite back by cooking her lovely meals and making sure she stayed hydrated.”
Olu/Toyin has been great with my Mum who’s 83 and has Alzheimer’s. Olu was thrown in at the deep-end as a live-in carer for 3 weeks. Mum had just been discharged from hospital, (having spent 4 weeks on a ward with Corona and secondary pneumonia) and Mum’s weak state didn’t phase Olu at all. A physiotherapist had given…

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.
