About Birdie

At Birdie, we’re reimagining care for older adults. We’re 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. We’re proud to be a B Corp, using business as a force for good. Founded in 2017, Birdie is backed by world‑class investors such as 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.

Your Mission

As a Customer Care Consultant – internally known as a Partner Care Consultant – you will ensure our partners and their caregivers enjoy an exceptional experience with Birdie. This is fundamentally a customer support role that goes far beyond handling queries; it’s about building strong, trust‑based relationships through proactive, human‑centred engagement. You will not just react to issues via live chat, but actively anticipate our partners’ needs. Through scheduled check‑in calls and regular touch points across our live chat, email, and phone channels, you will seek to understand their goals, uncover hidden challenges, and provide tailored guidance to help them unlock the full value of the Birdie platform. You’ll be the voice of our partners internally, becoming an expert on their needs and gathering crucial feedback that you will share with our Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams. Your ability to act as a trusted advisor, providing both expert technical support and genuine proactive care, will be instrumental in boosting partner satisfaction, retention and success.

It is a 40‑hour working week, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week (Monday‑Friday 7 am‑8 pm). Occasional weekend shifts are worked on rotation within the team, with time given back in lieu during the week.

• Through proactive scheduled and outbound calling activities, you will conduct structured check‑ins and escalation support with partners to uncover hidden issues and opportunities, ensuring they get the most value from Birdie.
• You’ll not only solve issues with confidence and empathy but proactively anticipate needs, helping to prevent problems before they arise and turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
