Otta's take

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Birdie offers in-home caregivers a suite of tools aimed at not only increasing their efficiency but ultimately improving the lives of those they provide care for. In the UK alone, nearly half a million individuals are on a waitlist for social care services, and nearly 50% of home care providers have reported their care workers are seeking alternative jobs.

Birdie comes into play by helping care providers optimise their time and minimise the administrative and regulatory burdens placed upon them. It counts over 700 care service providers in the UK including Alina Homecare, Medacs Healthcare, and Care at Home Group amongst its client base, ultimately helping over 35,000 individuals receive the in-home care that they need.

The company is a registered B Corp due to its socially and environmentally responsible practices such as its reduction of environmental footprint, fair worker compensation, and complete corporate/ financial transparency. It is now focusing on growing its solution and scaling into continental Europe, where it’s started to sign partnerships with local care providers, as well as wider business growth.

  • At birdie, you'll have a yearly personal development budget to put towards books (e.g., free audible subscription), courses, training and conferences; as well as continuous coaching within the team and with external experts. It’s about having a clear understanding of what it takes to grow from A to B, so you can do your best work.
  • The doors to our London and Berlin offices are always open! If you’re more of a work-from-home soul, we also organise in-person events and online socials to help you create those bonds that make work more fulfilling. These include quarterly and annual retreats.
  • 33 days base holiday (25 days + 8 bank holidays), birthday off, and company closure between Christmas Eve and New Years.
