Clinical Associate

We're looking for a GMC‑registered post‑F1 doctor who wants to shape the future of women’s health and postnatal care, where clinical insight meets AI, product, and real‑world impact.

About Hesta Health

Hesta is creating a new benchmark in women’s health, delivering exceptional care at every life stage. As we advance toward this goal, we are committed to closing the women’s health gap, beginning with pregnancy and postnatal care as our initial focus. 75 million years of women’s lives are lost each year due to poor health or early death. This gap limits potential, drives inequality, and reflects a healthcare system that wasn’t built for women. We are changing that.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a GMC‑registered doctor (post‑F1 or equivalent) to join us as a Clinical Associate, with a primary focus on clinical reporting, data insight generation, and product development. As a Clinical Associate, you’ll operate at the intersection of medicine, technology, and systems design. You’ll use your clinical reasoning to shape how intelligent, agent‑driven tools support care, working closely with product and engineering teams to build solutions that are not only innovative, but safe, effective, and deeply aligned with regulatory standards.

Some of the key responsibilities include:

• Analyse holistic patient data, including biomarkers, questionnaires, and clinical context, to build a comprehensive picture of postnatal wellbeing.
• Synthesise complex clinical information into clear, structured, patient‑friendly reports that support understanding and action.
• Identify results that require follow‑up, escalation, or clinical review, in line with governance protocols.
• Support patients with queries related to their reports within the limits of your competence.
• Continuously improve report quality, clarity, and clinical robustness through feedback and iteration.
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to design and refine how clinical data is captured, structured, and presented.
• Translate frontline clinical insight into scalable product features and workflows.
• Contribute to the development and evaluation of AI‑enabled tools, ensuring outputs align with clinical guidelines and best practice.
• Support testing, validation, and iteration of clinical reporting systems and decision‑support tools.
• Help define how “great” looks for clinical outputs (e.g. report quality, safety thresholds, usability).
• Support day‑to‑day clinical operations to ensure safe, effective, and well‑coordinated care delivery.
• Contribute to the design and refinement of end‑to‑end care pathways and operational processes.
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, or risks in care delivery and propose structured improvements.
• Help ensure a seamless, joined‑up experience across patient touchpoints.

Care coordination

Support coordination across the multidisciplinary team, ensuring accurate and timely information flow; assist with follow‑ups, referrals, and pathway management; and help ensure patients experience coherent, well‑organised care journeys.

Clinical governance & quality

Work within Hesta Health’s clinical governance framework, policies, and escalation protocols; contribute to documentation, safety processes, and quality improvement initiatives; maintain appropriate clinical judgement and risk awareness despite a non‑patient‑facing role; provide feedback to clinical, product, and operations teams to continuously improve safety and quality.

What You’ll Bring

You're a proactive, structured, analytical thinker who enjoys turning messy, real‑world user problems and information into clear, actionable insights. You’re curious about AI and new technologies, move quickly and pragmatically, and take a solutions‑oriented approach to delivering what a patient needs right now and improving how healthcare works at a systems level.

• Full GMC registration and licence to practise.
• Post‑F1 experience (or equivalent).
• Active professional indemnity insurance.
• Enhanced DBS check.
• Strong clinical reasoning and the ability to synthesise complex information accurately.
• Excellent written communication, with exceptional attention to detail.
• Comfort working with clinical data, digital tools, and structured workflows.
• Understanding of clinical risk, escalation, and governance.
• Ability to work cross‑functionally with clinical, product, and operations teams.
• Exposure to healthcare operations, service design, or quality improvement.
• Interest in AI, data‑driven healthcare, or clinical decision‑support tools.

Nice to have:

• Experience working with EHRs or data‑driven systems; or experience in women’s health, postnatal care, or digital health.
