Lottie is solving one of the UK's most pressing social challenges: helping families navigate the stressful, confusing process of finding later life care. Founded by two brothers out of their own frustrating experience, Lottie has grown from a half-broken website launched to meet an investor deadline into the UK's highest-rated care-finding service, backed by Accel and General Catalyst, early backers of companies like Airbnb, Meta, and Spotify. The company has raised more than £25 million, reached 10 million users, and now has a team of 70+ people. Glassdoor tells a remarkable story: 4.9/5 from 27 reviews, with 100% of employees recommending it to a friend. Reviewers consistently highlight the team's kindness, mission-driven culture, and clear career progression. Lottie also offers genuinely good benefits for a startup: private healthcare via Bupa, EMI share options, a 3-night digital detox through Unplugged, 26 days holiday (increasing with tenure), and work-from-anywhere for up to 3 weeks per year. The main thing to be aware of is that this is a fast-paced startup environment with ambitious targets, which some reviewers note is not for everyone. But if you want to do meaningful work that directly helps families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, while working alongside genuinely kind and talented people, Lottie is a brilliant place to do that.

• Earn £30,000 to £35,000 depending on experience and seniority. • Receive a very generous EMI share offering. • Take 26 days holiday plus bank holidays. • Get sponsored through your ACCA qualification. • Work hybrid with two core office days at London Bridge. • Join a Series A startup backed by Accel and General Catalyst that has raised over £25m. • Work somewhere recognised by Deloitte Fast 50, LinkedIn Top Startups, The Sunday Times Tech 2026, and Startups 100. • Receive constructive feedback and a debrief call if you are unsuccessful after the case study stage.

Founded with a mission to build the care sector of the future, Lottie is creating the AI operating system for social care, designed to unlock profitability for care providers and make finding care as easy as booking a holiday. Launched in London in July 2021, it has raised over £25m from tier 1 venture capital funds including Accel and General Catalyst and is widely recognised as one of Europe’s fastest growing tech companies. It offers four core products: the Lottie marketplace, Found by Lottie, Seniorcare by Lottie, and Eliza by Lottie.
