WE'RE UNLOCKING ACCESS TO THE NHS, BECAUSE HEALTHCARE IS NOT TRULY FREE UNTIL IT'S TRULY ACCESSIBLE 💙 The world’s best healthcare, for free. It's not a new idea, it's called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. Patient satisfaction is at an all time low, and the biggest reason cited is lack of access. So we’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works. We're building the front door of UK healthcare, creating a future where one billion NHS appointments are transparent and instantly bookable, and patients are guided to the right service first time using AI. We're developing critical national infrastructure. Today, 26% of GP practices in England use our patient registration software, while one in five GP practices in London use Bookable https://bookable.health/?utm_source=ashby Search to help new patients find and book appointments seamlessly. Our latest product, Bookable Navigator, extends this vision by automatically booking appointments for existing patients. We operate from within a working GP practice in East London 🏥 We're backed by Y Combinator, Innovate UK and the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme, and were previously ranked the 8th fastest-growing startup in the UK and 33rd fastest-growing in Europe 🚀 ⛩️ OUR PRINCIPLES Exciting challenges lie ahead. Guided by our principles, we’ll meet these challenges with a thoughtful and caring approach. These principles drive everything we do at Healthtech-1: 1. 💙 Care deeply 2. 🏋️‍♀️ Work hard 3. 🤝 Be your word 4. 💬 Trust in radical truth and transparency 5. 🚀 Do your life's best work 6. 🥳 Find the fun Read more about our principles and our "why" in the Healthtech-1 Handbook https://link.ht1.uk/handbook. THE ROLE We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to work directly with our CEO to own the design of the Bookable Navigator Inbox: this is the place where GP practice teams receive, triage and act on every patient request. It's used all day by receptionists, care navigators and clinicians, and every rough edge costs them precious time with patients. This is for a designer who has spent 5+ years shipping within fast-paced product teams and is looking for the next level up in their career. You'll have a lot of ownership, be expected to stay close to users, and work closely with engineering. If you are hungry, want to work hard, and want a role of a lifetime, we'd love to hear from you. WHAT YOU'LL DO Get close to users - Talk to practice staff regularly: run interviews, sit in on real shifts, and watch how the Inbox gets used - Research and scope product tickets before they reach engineering, so we build the right thing - Become the user: dogfood the product until you know its friction better than anyone Use data - Dig into product metrics to find where people get stuck, then turn that into design work - Measure whether what you shipped actually made things better Design and ship - Take ideas from scrappy MVP through to polished, high-fidelity design - Make things simple, beautiful and usable, for people working under real time pressure - Work side by side with engineers, from first sketch to what goes live - Use AI tools like Claude every day to research, prototype and move faster ABOUT YOU - You've cut your teeth on at least two great products, shipped and used by real people - You've worked in a product team, and you've worked at a startup - You're obsessed with UI and think about design constantly, down to the spacing on a button - You're excited about talking to users and getting close to the problem - You have the fire to improve: you seek out feedback and want to get much better quickly - You're comfortable with numbers and can make a case from data - You already use AI tools in your workflow Bonus: the best candidates will think like a product manager. You ask why before how, can scope a problem down to what matters, and have opinions about what to build next. We'll explore this in the interview process. PROGRESSION As AI changes how software gets built, the line between design and product is blurring, and this role sits right on the edges. You'll start owning the Inbox experience, and grow towards owning product decisions end to end. We want people who could one day found their own company. Here you'll get the reps to do it: real users, real problems in the NHS, and the freedom to work directly with our CEO to shape what we build. THE DETAILS - Salary: competitive, plus equity - Location: London (Stratford), in the office 4 days a week with 1 day (Wed) working from home 💙 A BIT ABOUT US 💙 We’re all NHS staff.

Every 8 weeks we do the same set of activities. 1 week outside of Business-as-Usual to research, strategise, plan our work. 7 weeks to knuckle down and deliver it. 🤝 We’re highly collaborative. One of the benefits of a high trust team is we often work autonomously, but as a team we’re very collaborative by nature.

Our team represents more than ten different cultures. We come together every lunch time for a home cooked meal, rotated among team members! We want everyone in our team to know that they belong. We are purposeful about this and are proactively building a company that is inclusive of all people; from race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, neurodiversity, disability, colour, and national origin - essentially every type of diversity. We don’t just want people who fit in, we want them to fit together. We're active in continually improving the way we make this happen.
