Recruitment and compliance for UK care providers
From application to cleared to care — in days, not weeks.
Cleared to Care interviews every applicant, runs your CQC pre-employment checks and keeps your staff trained and in date. One place, under your own brand, with a person making every decision.
“I'd stay calm, reassure her, and ask what she'd like to do today — it's her choice. Then I'd record it and let the office know.”
The problem
Good carers are lost to slow, paper-heavy recruitment.
Candidates drift away
While interviews are booked and references chased, the best applicants accept another offer.
Checks live everywhere
ID, DBS, references and history sit across inboxes, spreadsheets and filing cabinets.
Inspection means a scramble
Proving every Schedule 3 check was done — and when — takes days you don't have.
How it works
One journey, from advert to first shift — and beyond.
Every step happens in one place, so nothing falls through the cracks and every action is recorded.
Advertise
Write adverts with AI help and publish them to your own careers page, Google for Jobs and job board feeds.
Interview
Elizabeth, our AI interviewer, talks with every applicant — day or night, by voice or text — and scores against the 6Cs.
Vet
Applicants upload ID, right to work and DBS details. Referees are emailed automatically. Gaps in history are flagged.
Clear
Your team verifies each check and clears them to start. A full evidence pack is ready for inspection in one click.
Keep compliant
Training, the Care Certificate, DBS update checks and expiry dates — tracked, with reminders before anything lapses.
AI interviews
Interview every applicant the moment they apply.
No more phone tag. Applicants get a link and talk with Elizabeth whenever suits them — on their phone, in their own words.
- Real care scenarios for your sector and role — safeguarding, dignity, consent, lone working
- Natural British voice, with speech-to-text or typing
- Selfie and identity details captured before the interview starts
- A clear score and summary against the 6Cs, with every answer kept for you to read
- Your team always makes the decision — the AI never rejects anyone
You arrive for a morning call. The client doesn't answer the door and the curtains are still closed. What do you do?
I'd knock and call them, then ring the office straight away and follow the no-response procedure…
CQC vetting
Every Schedule 3 check, evidenced and audit-ready.
A guided checklist for each candidate, built around Regulation 19 — so you know exactly what's done, what's missing and who verified it.
- Identity, right to work, enhanced DBS and barred list, health declaration
- References requested and chased automatically, including conduct in previous care roles
- Full employment history with gaps flagged for explanation
- Secure document storage, with every action time-stamped in an audit log
- One-click evidence pack PDF for inspectors and commissioners
Training
Essential training and the Care Certificate, built in.
New starters get their training assigned automatically. Managers see who's in date at a glance.
- Online courses for core topics — safeguarding, infection control, fire safety and more
- Every course reviewed and signed off by a qualified trainer and a care professional
- Certificates issued on passing, with renewal reminders
- Care Certificate tracker for all 16 standards, with assessor sign-off
- Record practical sessions and official programmes alongside
Everything else you need
Built for how care providers actually work.
Your brand, not ours
Applicants see your logo, colours and interviewer. Cleared to Care stays in the background.
Careers page and adverts
A careers page for your organisation, with adverts structured for Google for Jobs.
Pre-checked talent pool
Find care workers who are open to work — many with ID, right to work, DBS and training already verified — and invite them to apply.
Expiry reminders
Right to work, DBS update checks, training and supervisions — reminders before anything lapses.
A person decides
The AI interviews and summarises. Your team reviews, verifies and makes every hiring decision.
Separate and secure
Each provider's data is kept separate, with private document storage and a full audit trail.
Trusted foundations
Run by an accredited company.
Cleared to Care is run by Frankton Group Ltd, which is certified to these standards.
ISO certification by 3core. Frankton Group is also a Disability Confident Committed employer, holds the Armed Forces Covenant Bronze Award, has signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment and publishes its modern slavery statement.
Sectors
Tailored to your service.
Interview questions, scoring and vetting adapt to the sector and role you're recruiting for.
For care workers
A free passport that goes where they go.
Care workers get their own free account to keep their checks, training and certificates in one place — and share them, with their permission, when they apply for their next role.
Questions
Common questions
Does the AI decide who gets hired?
No. Elizabeth interviews applicants and produces a score and summary, but your team reads the answers, verifies every check and makes every decision. Nobody is rejected automatically.
Do we still need our own DBS provider?
Yes. Cleared to Care records and evidences the DBS check alongside everything else, and works with your existing DBS arrangements.
Can applicants do the interview on their phone?
Yes. It works in any modern phone browser — nothing to install. Applicants can speak their answers or type them.
Will applicants see our branding?
Yes. Your logo, colours and interviewer appear throughout. Emails come from your organisation's name.
Is it free for care workers?
Always. Care workers never pay to apply, interview, train or keep their passport.
Can we try it first?
Yes. Start a free 14-day trial with up to 10 AI interviews — no payment details needed. Or book a demo and we'll walk you through it.
See it with your own roles.
We'll walk you through a live interview, the vetting checklist and an evidence pack — set up for your sector.
