About ZAVA

We're on a mission to provide our patients with healthcare that is accessible and dependable at a fraction of today's cost. Our team of Doctors, Engineers, Customer Support Advisors, Marketers, Product Managers, UX Designers, Pharmacists, and Commercial & Operations Specialists work collaboratively, to develop and maintain a digital healthcare platform that provides our patients with healthcare that suits their needs and schedules.

The pandemic changed our lives, requiring us to find flexible, remote, and innovative healthcare solutions to meet our needs during challenging and changeable periods. Many of our patients turned to telemedicine as a convenient solution to getting their healthcare online from the comfort of their homes. Through delivering a safe and efficient digital healthcare service, we've provided over 8 million consultations across the UK, Germany, France, and Ireland, enabling millions of people with essential access to healthcare when they need it most.

It's our motivation to continue fulfilling their needs and to expand further to meet the needs of others, ensuring we're always there with the latest tech, treatments, and advice. Because we're doing more than providing healthcare, we're enabling & empowering people by making healthcare work for them.

We’re here because we care about healthcare, and we plan to be the largest digital primary healthcare platform for people across Europe.

We are working hard to try and level the playing field wherever we can. We know from research that men are happy to apply for positions where they fit just 60% of the requirements, whereas women and underrepresented groups often will not apply unless they feel they are a super close match. If you don't think you meet all the requirements that you see above, we encourage you to apply and tell us what we can do to give you your best shot - if you want. We know that talent is everywhere, and as much as nice CVs are nice, they are often not a proxy for the best person for the job.
