The PrimeCarers Vetting Process

Our selection process is thorough to ensure that all our carers come highly recommended and are qualified. As part of the onboarding process, we conduct checks that may include ID verification, right-to-work status, and DBS checks where applicable. We also conduct professional interviews to understand the carer’s background, experience, approach to care, and communication style. Clients remain responsible for reviewing each carer’s profile, discussing their experience and training directly, and deciding whether they are suitable for their needs.

In addition to her experience, Mary is known for her excellent communication, ensuring that not only are clients’ physical needs met, but their emotional ones, too.
