Description

WE’RE ON A MISSION TO MAKE THE NHS THE MOST ADVANCED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD

The world’s best healthcare, for free. It’s not a new idea, it’s called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. So we’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works.
We love the NHS because it’s accessible to all, free at the point of delivery and employs millions up and down the UK. But we’ve all read the headlines. It’s under intense pressure with rising costs, GP strikes, budget uncertainty and an ageing population. Which means longer wait times, fewer appointments and lower quality care for the people who need of it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken.
The largest cost (£66bn+) is staff, who spend a ridiculous amount of time on mundane admin. 35% of NHS staff are employed to complete administrative work all day, every day. And that’s where we’re making a difference.
We’re focussed on relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. And we’ve had great early success. We’re powering 1 in 6 new patient registrations in England. That’s over 1,500,000 registrations automated.
Our newest product, Automated Lab Reports, is already saving countless hours of doctor time for practices across the country too.

NOT SURE YOU TICK EVERY BOX?

That’s okay — we’re not looking for perfection. If you’re excited by our mission and think you’d thrive in this role, we’d love to hear from you. Some of our best teammates didn’t have “the perfect background” — they had curiosity, drive and heart.

A BIT ABOUT US

We’re all NHS staff. We’re inside-outsiders. Trusted with one of the biggest datasets in the world.
We’re an in-person company for minimum 3 days a week, 4-5 days in office for EA roles. Our office is within a GP practice. This is our unfair advantage. Got a question? Pop down the corridor. Want to learn how your work affects real patients? Pop downstairs to reception.
We work in growth cycles. Every 8 weeks we do the same set of activities. 1 week outside of Business-as-Usual to research, strategise, plan our work. 7 weeks to knuckle down and deliver it.
We’re highly collaborative. One of the benefits of a high trust team is we often work autonomously, but as a team we’re very collaborative by nature. Two heads are often better than one, and we frequently lean on each other to solve problems together.
We’re backed by industry leaders. We’re on the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator, backed by the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Program, winners of the London Business School Healthtech Challenge, Innovate UK, and Y Combinator (S23).

Responsibilities

THE ROLE’S PURPOSE

This is a pivotal role that is vital to our next stage of growth at Healthtech-1. This person will develop strong relationships, extend our positive reputation and ultimately close significant projects with the public sector. You’ll position Healthtech-1 as a strategic capability for the NHS and the Department of Health and Social Care, making it a no-brainer to partner with us.

DAY TO DAY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Build and manage senior relationships — across NHS England, DHSC, ICBs
  • Win high-value public sector deals — own the full lifecycle from strategic targeting and relationship-building through to contract close (e.g. from pilots to scaled, multi-site rollouts)
  • Shape and influence the policy landscape — track live funding, commissioning models and shifting NHS priorities, and proactively engage to influence how policy is designed and delivered. Craft a narrative that positions Healthtech‑1 as a strategic solution within that evolving context.
  • Stay ahead of risk and opportunity — monitor emerging policy, funding, or stakeholder shifts that impact HT1’s public sector positioning and proactively surface early intelligence to the team
  • Establish Healthtech‑1 as a trusted strategic capability — earn long-term confidence from policy teams through evidence, storytelling, and high-quality delivery
  • Show up in the right rooms — open doors, secure seats at the table, and represent us at roundtables, advisory groups, or strategic briefings with clarity and usefulness

You’ll help open the door to long-term collaboration with NHSE/DHSC through well-placed, high-trust partnerships.

  • Deliver 1–2 new NHS partnerships e.g. national procurement, NHS app
  • List Healthtech‑1 on at least one national procurement framework
  • Maintain a visible and active pipeline of qualified public sector opportunitie
