🏷️ Title: Care Expert 👫 Department: Customer Care 💰 Salary: £30,000 - £32,500 (pro rata) 🎁 Benefits & Culture: See here 🎥 Meet our Customer Care Team Lead: Why this role is special 🌴 Holiday: 26 days + bank holidays (pro rata) 💗 Mission: Elevate later life for everybody and build the care sector of the future 💻 Office Policy: Hybrid with a minimum of 2 core office days per week 🌍 Office Location: London Bridge, London, UK 📋 Contract: Initial 6-month contract, with possibility to extend 🔍 The Opportunity: Having quickly grown to be the UK’s no. 1 care marketplace and operating software, Lottie is looking to hire a Trainee Care Expert on a maternity cover basis, with an ideal start date of early November 2026. This is an initial 6-month contract, with the possibility of extending to 12 months depending on the needs of the business. We cannot guarantee a permanent role at the end of the contract, but should a suitable opportunity arise at Lottie, we would be open to considering the right candidate. You will report directly into Lottie's Customer Care Lead - and will be given high autonomy to support families navigating the minefield that is the social care sector - through a highly personalised and holistic support service. 💻 What does this role involve? * Build trusted relationships with families as you guide them through complex care journeys with deep personalisation - conduct consultations to understand needs and offer tailored support that see the person as a whole. * Connect families with the right care partners - facilitate highly personalised care matching, coordinate visits, and support decision-making * Represent Lottie's brand with warmth and expertise - be the human voice creating experiences so exceptional that families become advocates * Share customer insights to improve our platform - feed real family stories and pain points back to product teams 💪 What problems will you be solving? * Families are lost and overwhelmed trying to navigate care decisions without knowing where to start or who to trust - you'll be their calm, expert voice. * Whilst our marketplace product helps thousands of people find care independently, some families need more. You'll handle the complex, emotionally-charged situations where self-service fails - offering empathy, patience, and hand-holding that only a human can provide. * Generic recommendations miss the mark - families need solutions that honour their loved one as a whole person, considering much more than just care needs. You’ll endeavour to deeply understand each person and what matters to them and their family (from dietary needs to dementia expertise to cultural compatibility), and then proceed to find the perfect care solution and support offering tailored to them. * Shaping the future of searching for care - You'll be on the front lines hearing what families actually struggle with. Your insights will directly influence product development, help us identify gaps in the market, and ensure Lottie builds solutions that solve real problems. 👀 We think you’ll be a great fit if… * You have a genuine and deep desire to deliver personalised support for people in difficult situations * You stay calm and grounded in emotional situations while guiding people toward practical solutions * You're excited by measurable impact in a startup - you care about helping people and understand how metrics drive better service * You take initiative and improve things as you go - spotting gaps and suggesting better ways of working 💔 This role isn’t for you if… * You're not hungry to learn - you'll need to rapidly absorb social care knowledge (CQC ratings, funding support, care types) to deliver expert-level guidance * You're uncomfortable with commercial targets - we balance genuine care with growth goals * You struggle with ambiguity - every family is different and requires bespoke solutions, not scripts * Emotional conversations drain you - you'll support families through stress, overwhelm and guilt 💻APPLICATION We'd love to see a short video (2-3 minutes) answering this question: Introduce yourself, tell us why you’re interested in Lottie and what makes you a good fit for this role.
