We are looking for someone who is:
The role is offered as an initial six-month contract, with a plan to extend into a long term leadership role within the company for the right candidate.
The role offered after six months will depend on the candidate’s preference and skills. There are openings in operations, customer journey, strategy, business development, partnerships with schools as well as several special projects related to new product development or widening access.
Skills we are looking for:
Compensation: We offer an attractive compensation package, with a salary equivalent to a full-time role as a qualified doctor in the NHS but without the night shifts! We have an evaluation system in place to ensure fairness and timely progression for all team members. After six months, you may be invited to join the incentive plan for further financial compensation.
Benefit: All contracts include some out of hours work to teach courses in the evening and on weekends. We offer a lot of flexibility to work around your personal life. When teaching out of hours, you will be able to take the days off in lieu.
For the immediate future, we are working from home, and thus the role will start as a remote position. However, once it is possible to return to the office, the role will be based in central London.
Career: We give each team member the chance to progress and develop themselves. Every fortnight, you can use two hours of work time for training purposes on pre-agreed skills that you feel would be helpful to your career development. There is also a strong encouragement to be involved in many parts of the business which offers excellent opportunities for training.
We also provide regular feedback and mentorship from the leadership of the company to support your personal development and career progression.
We are looking for long term partners in the business. As such, for the right candidates, we will offer opportunities for a variety of managerial and director roles in the next 12-24 months
Like every company in existence, we value efficiency, adhering to deadlines and completing goals. Unlike many companies, however, we will not do so at the cost of our employees’ mental health. We foster a competent, warm and friendly work environment which offers a blend of teamwork and independence, fueled by communication.
A start-up can be a challenging and fast-paced work environment: sometimes, an idea we have in the morning is live on the website and communicated to clients by lunchtime! Being part of this team means you will get your hands on a wide variety of projects and tasks - but even if you find yourself working alone, it is critical that everything is communicated with the rest of the team. There is always someone willing to lend a hand should you feel overwhelmed - and your colleagues will be other doctors, dentists and non-medical professionals with a strong entrepreneurial drive and who appreciate the start-up environment
Some days can be busy and long, but we make sure to allow time off and further flexibility at quieter times. It is an enriching working environment where you will see the outcome and impact of your work daily on students, their parents and the company's achievements.
We are a team that believes passionately in our core values. We promote equality within our team: from hiring to brainstorming, every opinion counts. We promote equality in medicine for our clients: always finding new ways to widen access and overcome social, economic and geographic barriers. We have many corporate social responsibility initiatives, including a free online interview course, scholarships for our courses, free or sponsored teaching in state schools - with new ideas being launched all the time. Our founder, Dr Dibah Jiva, actually spends a lot of time giving free consulting sessions to students in difficult situations.
The team frequently collaborates with each other, sharing our tasks, challenges and accomplishments - both personal and professional! We try to be as supportive as possible, and everyone will help you with any tasks, regardless of their role and schedule. Plus we enjoy social events frequently, including games like darts when in the office and online games when we work from home.
