"Mum laughed for the first time in weeks."
Built for safety, transparency & trust
The GetCarer platform
Everything a British family needs. Nothing they don't.
We stripped the agency layer out of home care. What's left is a direct, transparent marketplace where the best carers earn more, families see everything as it happens, and no one waits weeks to be paid.
The GetCarer Guarantee.
Every carer clears an enhanced DBS check, right-to-work verification, reference vetting, and a 20-minute video interview with our safeguarding team. Only the top tier is invited to accept work.
24-hour payouts
Paid 24 hours after the shift, not weeks.
Carers cash out to any UK debit card via Stripe Connect — funds are released 24 hours after the shift is completed.

Care logs
Every moment, streamed.
Meals, medication, mood, incidents — logged by the carer, live on your Care Circle feed.
Care Circle
Your whole family, in the loop.
Invite siblings, GPs, or a social worker. Read-only access to logs and schedules.
Lifestyle Matcher
Match on more than availability.
We rank carers by shared languages, hobbies, dietary knowledge, and cultural fit.
Standby cover
Guaranteed no-show cover.
If a carer can't make it, a nearby vetted standby is dispatched within 20 minutes.
Live care logs
The daily diary of care —
written in real time.
Every meal, medication, walk, and mood note is captured by the carer on their phone and streamed instantly to your Care Circle. No end-of-week paperwork. No missing details. No wondering how today went.
- Timestamped entries with photos
- Medication scheduling with reminders
- Incident flags routed to safeguarding in seconds
Why families are switching
The old way vs the GetCarer way.
The Care Circle
One family. One shared view.
Zero group chats.
Invite siblings across time zones, the GP, a social worker, or your loved one's best friend. Everyone sees the same live feed. Everyone gets the same peace of mind. Only you decide who sees what.
- Role-based access — from full editor to read-only
- Push notifications for what matters, silence for what doesn't
- Works across the UK, Europe, and every timezone
Standby cover
When plans change,
care doesn't.
Every booking is backed by our Standby Guarantee. If your carer can't make it, a nearby DBS-verified standby carer is dispatched within 20 minutes — no phone-around, no frantic morning.
- Available across our 47 city coverage areas
- Same rate, same vetting, same live logs
- Free — included with every booking
