Careers at SimHealth

Help us train the clinicians the world is waiting for.

We build AI-powered simulation that gives every healthcare student the practice they need before they meet their first patient.

SimHealth was founded by a registered dietitian and a cloud engineer who lived the clinical placement crisis from both sides. Today our platform helps universities across the UK give students realistic, safe consultation practice.

We are a small, remote-first team where clinicians, educators, and engineers build together — and where your work reaches real learners within weeks.

Built responsibly

Privacy-first engineering and clinical oversight are part of how we work, not an afterthought.

Mission you can feel

Every feature helps solve the clinical placement shortage holding healthcare students back.
