About ZAVA

We're on a mission to provide our patients with healthcare that is accessible and dependable at a fraction of today's cost. Our team of Doctors, Engineers, Customer Support Advisors, Marketers, Product Managers, UX Designers, Pharmacists, and Commercial & Operations Specialists work collaboratively, to develop and maintain a digital healthcare platform that provides our patients with healthcare that suits their needs & schedules.

The pandemic changed our lives, requiring us to find flexible, remote and innovative healthcare solutions to meet our needs during challenging and changeable periods. Many of our patients turned to telemedicine as a convenient solution to getting their healthcare online from the comfort of their homes. Through delivering a safe and efficient digital healthcare service, we've provided over 12 million consultations across the UK, Germany, France, and Ireland, enabling millions of people with essential access to healthcare when they need it most. It's our motivation to continue fulfilling their needs and to expand further to meet the needs of others, ensuring we're always there with the latest tech, treatments, and advice. Because we're doing more than providing healthcare, we're enabling & empowering people by making healthcare work for them.

We’re here because we care about healthcare and we plan to be the largest digital primary healthcare platform for people across Europe.

Role description

As an online healthcare provider, we carry out a range of testing and treatment services for patients. Your role will mainly be in our in-house mail-order pharmacy based in Angel, London, supporting the supply and dispensing of medications to patients.

You’ll drive forward our mail-order pharmacy by adhering to ethical, professional and legal pharmacy standards, delivering the technical aspects of the dispensary whilst ensuring the safe supply of medicines e.g. ordering, labelling, dispensing, packaging of medications and test kits.

You will need to be diligent, show close attention to detail and be familiar with working on high-volume repetitive tasks at scale. Against a background of increasing demand for healthcare from home, we want to ensure that we maintain our professional service and safety profile levels.

This is a great opportunity to be part of our clinical team working directly alongside our pharmacists and doctors. We do not have any pressure-driven targets and we guarantee you a lunch break out of the pharmacy every day. In addition, you will work with our customer support and operations teams to deliver efficient dispensary operations, building out the best service offering for our patients.

Chance to influence the future of healthcare - It is through technology that ZAVA has been able to make efficiency gains in the healthcare sector. To continue pushing boundaries and expand the company, our technology needs to evolve and grow and you will play a significant role in deciding what we do next.

Day-to-day the work will encompass:

Labelling, Dispensing, Dispatching - Labelling and dispensing a range of different prescriptions and preparing them for dispatch to patients across the UK.

Stock Management and Sorting - Supporting the wider team to help manage the stock levels of medication in the pharmacy.

Maintain Work Areas - Keeping your work area clean and tidy at all times.

Order Processing - Using a database, tools, computer equipment and scanners to help manage the dispatch of medication and test kits from the office.

Excellence and quality - You strive for and help others achieve high standards. You are instrumental in communicating, collaborating and interacting with the operations team at all levels to ensure that the service provided to our patients is excellent.

We are working hard to try and level the playing field wherever we can. We know from research that men are happy to apply for positions where they fit just 60% of the requirements, whereas women and underrepresented groups often will not apply unless they feel they are a super close match. If you don't think you meet all the requirements that you see above, we encourage you to apply and tell us what we can do to give you your best shot - if you want. We know that talent is everywhere, and as much as nice CVs are nice, they are often not a proxy for the best person for the job.
