About Euc

We’re making good health last life a lifetime

More than 1 billion people globally live with obesity — a major leading indicator of many preventable chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Eucalyptus is the company behind “Juniper”, one of the world’s largest weight management programs combining GLP-1 medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme, supported by our multidisciplinary care team of prescribers, health coaches, dietitians, nurses and pharmacists.

Our published clinical research demonstrates that our combined approach to weight management and lifestyle change means that our patients are 4x as likely to lose significant weight through their course of treatment with Juniper.

Since launching, we’ve grown fast to support millions of patients. In 2024 alone…

• In the UK we grew from 5,000 to ~30,000 patients, received selective NICE endorsement for our holistic approach to obesity management, and grew our team from 45 to 165.
• Globally, grew revenue by >120% YoY, while reducing cash burned by 90% YoY and grew our valuation to >$500M USD, with over $100M USD raised from global investors such as BOND, NewView, Blackbird and Airtree - early backers of companies like Canva, Stripe and AirBnb.

What’s next?

Since reaching over 60,000 patients globally through our weight management program, our goal in 2025 is to extend access to our core treatment program to over 100,000 patients, whilst launching into new conditions, demographics and geographies as we move towards our vision of creating a preventative healthcare ecosystem.

We’re going to build the world’s largest international digital healthcare company. This will be really hard to do, but very rewarding and possibly, the adventure of a lifetime with some of the best operators you will ever work with. If that gets you excited, let’s talk.

Juniper, Our Weight Management Brand

Through Juniper, we provide a personalised, high-touch model of care that enables patients to access evidence-based, supportive and sustainable weight management. Our model promotes accessibility and accountability to patients who have traditionally struggled to achieve their goals in a stigmatised and poorly managed condition.

Incoming patients interface through an online questionnaire which collects key health information. Patients also undergo a model of high-touch care beyond the initial prescription with our team of health coaches, dieticians and regular Prescriber check-ins.

As a member of our in-house clinical team, you will be critical to this mission. You will be joining our small team of prescribers to achieve our goal of making healthcare accessible, convenient and safe.

About the role (What you’ll be doing)

• Through our bespoke telehealth platform, conduct asynchronous text-based consultations with patients, to assess and prescribe weight-loss medications;
• Provide outstanding medical advice to patients, which creates lasting impressions because of its depth and personalisation;
• Demonstrate knowledge and awareness relevant to the areas we prescribe (primarily GLP-1/GIP agonist medications);
• Adhere to our practice standards, quality and safety procedures and policies, and complete all required training;
• Triage medical enquiries efficiently to ensure excellent patient safety and care is received;
• Respond to medical incidents promptly as escalated, via phone or asynchronous messaging;
• Be a critical point of contact for our Eucalyptus-partnered clinicians and work closely with a team of healthcare professionals to assist in building processes and systems that get better over time;
• Assist in the creation of medical knowledge centres that empower our broader team to provide deeper and more personalised patient experiences.

About you (Who you are)

Skills and mindset:

• Qualified as a Pharmacist Independent Prescriber; Current registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
• A high level of empathy and a passion for delivering an exceptional patient experience

• Skilled at using technology to deliver care and communicate with patients, especially in written formats
• Experience in online prescribing

• Experience in prescribing for weight loss

So, why join Eucalyptus?

• Make real impact, fast- We build in the open together, which helps us learn and iterate more quickly so we can deliver high quality outcomes faster than anyone else. Helping impact patients lives for the better from the moment you join Euc.
• You’ll be supported to accelerate your career- Regular feedback alongside our bi-annual performance reviews, a professional development budget & leave help ensure you have the support you need to level up. We’re committed to helping every Eucalypt reach their full potential.
• You’ll work with others who are incredibly passionate about what they do- Our talent bar is high and our work ethic is strong. You’ll get to stretch yourself everyday, be given autonomy to tackle interesting problems, and work amongst people who care deeply about our patients.
• We also offer a range of benefits including

  • A yearly personal development budget and 3 extra days of leave to continuously up-skill yourself
