Clinical Doctor (German-speaking)

About ZAVA

We believe healthcare should be accessible, dependable and affordable for everyone. Now part of Hims & Hers Health, Inc., one of the fastest-growing digital health companies in the world, we’re entering an exciting new chapter as we expand our reach and accelerate our impact.

Our team of Doctors, Engineers, Patient Care Advisors, Pharmacists, Marketers, Product Managers, UX Designers, Commercial, and Operations Specialists work together to build digital healthcare that truly fits around our patients’ lives.

The pandemic changed how people access care, and we’ve led the way by providing over 14 million consultations across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Ireland. More patients than ever turn to us for help with weight loss and other conditions that can be safely treated online. We’re evolving our service to make care even more personal, supportive and effective.

We’re doing more than providing healthcare. We’re empowering people to take control of their health, and with the support of Hims & Hers, we’re scaling our vision to become a global leader in digital healthcare.

About the role

We're looking for experienced, GMC-registered GP’s to join our growing Clinical Team.

This role primarily focuses on supporting patients accessing weight management treatment, including assessing suitability for GLP-1 medications, reviewing ongoing treatment and prescribing safely in line with national guidance and ZAVA's clinical protocols.

Alongside weight management, you'll also provide care across a range of other conditions that can be safely managed online through our asynchronous platform.

This is an opportunity to practise medicine differently. Rather than conducting scheduled telephone or video consultations, you'll review structured online consultations, communicate with patients through secure messaging and make autonomous, evidence-based clinical decisions. Synchronous consultations are only required where clinically appropriate.

Beyond patient care, you'll work collaboratively with colleagues across Clinical, Product, Engineering, Operations, Patient Care and Commercial teams to improve clinical pathways, develop new services and enhance the patient experience.

Deliver safe, evidence-based patient care

• Review and assess asynchronous patient consultations, primarily relating to weight management, alongside other digital healthcare services.

• Participate in clinical governance, audit and quality improvement activities.

• Contribute to the review and development of clinical guidelines and prescribing pathways.

Help shape the future of digital healthcare

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Patient Care and Operational teams to improve the patient experience.

• Provide clinical input into the development of new treatments, services and digital products.

• Identify opportunities to improve clinical pathways and service delivery while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety.

Learn and collaborate

• Participate in regular clinical meetings, teaching sessions and peer learning.

• Engage in continuing professional development and digital healthcare training.

• Share knowledge, expertise and best practice across the wider clinical team.
