Our mission
At Switchee, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a decent home and that the
environments we inhabit have a massive influence on our ability to enjoy life and prosper.
One in five households in the UK live in social housing, a sector with the right values at its core but that has historically struggled to deploy innovations in the home. Many residents still can’t afford to heat their homes and live in cold, mouldy properties they can’t be proud of.
We believe that radical innovation in internet-connected technology can ensure that every resident, every day, is living in a home that allows them to succeed. That’s why our products are built not just on great technology, but on an understanding of what people want from the space they live in.
This approach led us to reimagine the most mundane household object, a thermostat, into a product that automatically reduces energy bills, looks great and offers control to those who want it. We are also revolutionising the way social landlords manage their housing stock with an obsessively tailored SaaS property dashboard and handy alerts on things like when the boiler is going to break.
Our journey
We may be only 8 years old, but it’s already been quite a ride. Our first product, the connected Switchee thermostat is already in 100+ of the UK’s biggest housing providers.
We’re growing 100% year on year and are backed by some of the best-known investors in technology and social impact. We are a small team of 60+ passionate and ambitious people driven by a collective desire to make a positive impact in the housing sector, both for residents and providers..
We are looking for a motivated individual to be an essential part of our team, supporting our marketing efforts, engaging with our communities, and contributing to our mission of improving lives for people living in rented homes.
