- How do I find the right carer?

We will send you a selection of profiles for carers in the Bishop’s Stortford area, and you choose your carer dependent on your specific requirements.
We will ensure that you have the same carer each time, we will not send you different carers without contacting you first. This is usually only due to sickness or leave.
- What checks are done on TrustonTap carers?

We carefully screen and interview all our trusted carers via a multi-stage recruitment process to ensure that all our carers are competent, compassionate, kind, honest and reliable.
Everyone is fully-vetted and DBS background checked.
Plus, we obtain two references on all carers that we take on, to ensure the good character of the people who will be supporting you.
We also conduct thorough individual interviews.
Over the last 3 years, we have taken on less than 10% of carers that have applied to us.
We only list those individuals who we would be happy to recommend to our own relatives.

Self-care for carers is essential to avoid burnout and ensure sustainable, compassionate support.
