Our Operators
We are partnered with the Claven Group to provide a UK wide field force of operators who are all referenced and vetted.
Due to the sensitive nature of home visits, all operators ae monitored and robust systems and oversight are in place to regularly review all operators.
Each operator has gone through extensive screening and vetting checks including ‘Know Your Candidate’ checks (CV plus usual proof of address and ID provided.) It is then screened by an independent agency to confirm ID, address, check NI number etc. as well as past employment referencing. Additional checked are then made on Social Media, credit checks, DBS checks and sanction screening.
