HealthHero brings together human expertise and digital convenience to deliver digital-first, integrated care that is revolutionising the healthcare industry.
And we’re not just revolutionising it for patients, either. We’re also focused on making practice more perfect for GPs and clinicians – from working to solve capacity challenges with smart triage technology, minimise the administrative burden and provide exciting new career opportunities for all our clinicians.
We’re growing rapidly, and we’re looking for GPs to join us working remotely across the UK and Ireland, to make practice perfect and deliver the future
of healthcare.
Our GPs experience a better way to work. They enjoy choice, balance, flexibility, and most importantly, they’re able to make the most of their time with patients - without the paperwork, bureaucracy or stress. And the result? An increased sense of professional fulfilment and purpose.
We have built a reputation for providing trusted, expert and guaranteed clinical service quality and we are the leading provider of remote GP advice services in Europe.
Our services are accessible by over eight million patients across the UK and Ireland who benefit from direct, remote primary care and expert clinicians – our two services are rated Outstanding and Good by the CQC.
Work the hours that work for you.
Work from home. Choose day, evening or weekend hours that suit you.
Work around existing professional commitments.
Provide a great patient experience, efficiently.
No commute and limited post-consultation workload.
24/7 IT support, mentoring and auditing.
Not only can you choose when you work with us, you can also choose how.
Provide private consultations to patients who have access to our service through insured products such as private medical healthcare. Provide advice, referrals and prescriptions to our patients where appropriate and help them access the healthcare they need faster.
Provide remote urgent primary care clinical consultations for patients referred through NHS 111, or directly by Healthcare Professionals working within the NHS. As part of the multi-disciplinary Clinical Assessment Team, clinical delivery is facilitated by our 24/7 non-clinical support team as well as seamless NHS IT integration including full access to in-hours primary care records and Electronic
Prescribing functionality.
Beyond consultation delivery we have plenty of other opportunities for you to help us build the future of healthcare:

our services
Input into our focus groups to make the way we provide primary healthcare better
Shape our technology and make it perfect for a world of digital healthcare

Choosing to work across both on a shift-by-shift basis gives you variety, balance and valuable experience beyond your main day-to-day work.
