Job summary

Evaro is a fully licensed healthcare platform combining AI-assisted consultations with clinical oversight from qualified professionals. We provide instant medical access, diagnosis, and next-day prescription delivery for a wide range of primary care conditions.

This isn't a traditional pharmacy tech role. Around 80% of your time will be spent delivering NHS contraception consultations directly to patients. If you're at your best when you're with a patient, not counting stock, and want to work somewhere that's changing how people access care, this is worth reading on.

Access to contraception should be simple. For too many people it isn't. Long GP waits, limited appointments, and a system that hasn't kept pace with demand. Pharmacy-based services are closing that gap, but only where the right people are delivering them. Evaro is building a scalable NHS contraception pathway. The technology is in place. Now we need clinicians who can deliver high-quality, compassionate consultations at volume and do it consistently.

Main duties of the job

Most of your day will be spent talking to patients. You'll deliver NHS contraception consultations via Evaro's AI-supported platform, working through cases at pace while maintaining accuracy, empathy, and a 24-hour turnaround standard.

You'll document each consultation carefully, escalate clinical queries to the pharmacist when needed, and operate confidently within your scope of practice.

Alongside consultations, you'll support the dispensing team, help manage prescription workflows, and contribute to the smooth running of the pharmacy operation.

This is a role for someone who's composed under pressure and genuinely cares about how patients experience their care. You'll build consultation volume progressively as you settle into the role.

About us

Evaro builds technology that makes healthcare more accessible. Our platform enables brands to integrate digital health services with minimal friction, supporting 13.5 million patients across NHS and private healthcare services in the UK.

We were founded in 2018 after realising that a significant proportion of A&E consultations and GP appointments focus on minor health conditions that could be more efficiently managed digitally. What began as an e-Surgery and e-Pharmacy platform has grown into a full-stack digital health company, powering clinical, operational, and product solutions for the future of healthcare.

Our mission is to improve access to medications and health services through seamless, tech-driven experiences.
