About Us

Hesta Health is creating a new benchmark in women’s health, delivering exceptional care at every life stage. As we advance towards this goal, we are committed to closing the women’s health gap, beginning with pregnancy and postnatal as our initial focus.

75 million years of women’s lives are lost every year due to poor health or early death. This gap limits potential, drives inequality, and reflects a healthcare system that wasn’t built for women. We are changing that.

Our first mission is to reimagine care for mothers and birthing parents through compassionate care, clinical excellence and technology.

We’re looking for

A GMC-registered, post CCT GP with a strong commitment to delivering outstanding care to women and birthing parents in the two years after pregnancy.

You’ll combine clinical expertise with empathy and integrity, ensuring every woman feels heard, safe and supported during one of the most important stages of life.

This is the first version of the Hesta service we are delivering, and women’s experience with our front-line clinicians is critical. This is a unique opportunity to be one of the first clinicians to provide exceptional, compassionate care in appointments that allow the time and space to care for women while also helping to shape the future of digital healthcare in the UK and globally. It marks the beginning of a longer and important mission.

To join a healthtech startup this early on and genuinely change the future of healthcare is a career-defining opportunity and we can’t wait to see if you are a good fit to come and build with us!

Sessions: 3-6 per week

Location: London, must be able to travel to Marylebone. Both telehealth and some in-clinic care to be provided

Preferred Days: We can be flexible
