We're Doccla, the virtual ward company. We provide patients and clinicians with the transformative power of remote patient monitoring.

Our existing customers are Hospitals, Community Services, and NHS Commissioners that we partner with to deliver tech enabled virtual wards.

Patients love our care pathways and health services become more efficient; it's a win-win.

Doccla is a growing health tech startup; we have secured a £35ml at Series B, led by European VC Lakestar, with new investors French VC Elaia and existing investors General Catalyst, Speedinvest and the investment leg of German media company Bertelsmann also participating. We're solving real problems for patients and health systems and we are growing at exceptional speed. We're looking for dedicated people with a passion for solving the problems in healthcare.

This is your chance to join us at a key stage of our growth. Our ambition is to be a category leader for virtual healthcare. You will be joining a highly entrepreneurial team that combines technical, clinical, operational, and commercial colleagues.
