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.

“Since Stella has been looking after Margaret her health and mobility has improved significantly from hardly being able to take a few steps to being able to go out for walks and climb the stairs.”

Stella has looked after my Mum Margaret on a full time basis since the start of Feb 22. Margaret is 89 years old and has dementia. She had a number of falls over Christmas and was hardly able to move after that so we decided that full time care was needed. Since Stella has been looking after Margaret her health and…

“Pordou is very patient with Dad who can be very difficult and she remains cheerful when going about her duties.”

Pordou has been caring for my father for about a month. When I was searching for a carer, I was drawn to her friendly face and thought she looked caring. My first impression was right . She travels by public transport, which can sometimes take a while, but is always reliable. She does exactly what we ask of her 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.

See every check carers complete in the checks carers complete.
