š¦ About Birdie
At Birdie, weāre reimagining care for older adults. Weāre building the technology that powers the future of home healthcare, empowering care teams with tools to deliver better, more dignified care, and enabling older people to thrive in their own homes for longer. Our all-in-one solution powers millions of care visits every month, equipping care providers with the tools they need to deliver exceptional, efficient care.
Weāre not here to tinker at the edges. Weāre here to radically transform a broken system.
Thatās why weāve built an all-in-one platform that supported over 60 million care visits and enabled care for 116,000 individuals in 2025, and we continue to grow our impact. Weāre scaling fast, but staying true to our purpose. Thatās why weāre proud to be a B Corp, using business as a force for good.
Founded in 2017, Birdie is backed by world-class investors like Index Ventures, Sofina and Omers. In 2023, we ranked #6 in the Deloitte Fast 50, making us one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK. You can check out more about our impact and recognition here.
But speed isnāt the point. Impact is.

You will work closely with our engineering, product, legal, and operational teams, and will be supported by our General Counsel and external Data Protection Officer (DPO).
