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.
Your mission

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).
How you will contribute
- Own data protection compliance across product and operations, working with our external DPO on DPIAs, RoPA, and information rights processes.
- Lead the annual NHS DSPT submission and keep us at "Standards Met" year-round, alongside DSCR and clinical risk alignment (DCB0129/0160) where applicable.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet ā that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right ā and where to focus when applying.
Youāll thrive here if...
- You have strong familiarity with NHS DSPT, DSCR, and NHS API assurance frameworks (GP Connect, PDS).
- You know UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 inside out, and can apply it practically in a fast-moving SaaS environment.
- You've led or played a major role in risk assessments, control design, and managing a business risk register - ideally alongside an external DPO or legal counsel.
- You can turn complex legal and health-system regulations into clear, actionable requirements for engineers and product teams.
- You write and speak with clarity, whether it's a policy, an executive report, or team training.
- You have sound judgment and the confidence to challenge while keeping strong working relationships; a relevant certification (CIPP/E, CIPM, CISM, CISA, or similar) or familiarity with ISO 27001/Cyber Essentials/SOC 2 is a plus.
