Redefining Personalised Healthcare

Modern healthcare can feel fragmented — we’re building something better.

We’re an early-stage, clinician-led digital health startup delivering highly personalised, relationship-based care. Our model combines clinical excellence, technology, and a premium patient experience — bringing continuity, coordination, and compassion back into healthcare.

We’re looking for an experienced Primary Care Nurse or Nurse Practitioner to join us as a Care Navigator — a pivotal role at the heart of our service.

The Role

This is not a traditional nursing role.

As a Care Navigator, you’ll be the first point of contact for patients, combining clinical expertise with triage, coordination, and relationship-building. You’ll guide patients through their healthcare journey, ensuring they feel supported and understood at every step.

You’ll work closely with GPs and senior clinicians, while helping shape how a modern, digitally enabled practice operates.

Key Responsibilities

Patient Care & Navigation

  • Act as primary contact, delivering a personalised patient experience
  • Triage queries, assess risk, and escalate appropriately
  • Coordinate appointments, referrals, tests, and follow-ups
  • Support patients navigating NHS and private pathways
  • Provide continuity, reassurance, and advocacy

Clinical Coordination

  • Work alongside clinicians to deliver safe, joined-up care
  • Escalate clinical concerns appropriately
  • Maintain accurate records in line with CQC and GDPR

Operational Development

  • Help design care pathways and service models
  • Engage with and improve digital/AI-enabled systems
  • Support workflow development in a growing startup

What We’re Looking For

Essential

  • Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner (or equivalent AHP)
  • 5–10 years’ experience, ideally in primary care
  • Strong triage and clinical assessment skills
  • Patient-centred, empathetic approach
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building ability
  • Experience in NHS primary care and/or private settings
  • Understanding of CQC, confidentiality, and GDPR
  • Comfortable using digital tools
  • Able to balance clinical and administrative work

Personal Attributes

  • Warm, professional, and personable
  • Proactive and highly organised
  • Adaptable and resilient
  • Motivated to improve patient experience and outcomes

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a new model of primary care focused on quality and continuity
  • Work alongside experienced GPs and clinicians
  • Shape how care is delivered in a growing organisation
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • Supportive, high-trust culture
  • Competitive salary with potential equity opportunity
