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.

“Jane always treated Mum with patience, kindness and offered a very sympathetic ear whenever Mum wished to talk”
Jane, as she was known to us, was hired through an agency called ‘Live In Care’, some 3 years ago. She spent up to 8 weeks at a time, living in 24/7 with my elderly Mother who due to a stroke could no longer function on her own, without danger to herself and the house. We are based in a very rural area so much of the…

“She was always cheerful and looking for ways to stimulate my mother. She became her "friend" and provided best care always.”

“She built an amazing rapport with my mum and took care of her until she died. I am forever grateful for Sally”
Sally came into our lives at a crucial time to care for my 90 year old mother who had vascular dementia. A lot of carers had left as my mother’s condition was very challenging mentally and physically. Sally was extremely patient, compassionate and very gentle with her. She took care of her every need and went beyond…

“Maz would take mum out in her wheelchair either to the shops or to the village pond to feed the ducks which mum loved to do.”
Maz looked after my mum but I'm afraid I cannot remember dates etc but it was for a few years. I couldn't have wished for anyone nicer than Maz, she dressed my mum thoughtfully (didn't just put any mismatched or dreary clothes on mum) and she always dressed my mum's hair. I would walk into the lounge, look at my mum…

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.
