Careers at Healthforce

We're a health tech company with a big dream: to lower the cost of quality care and improve health outcomes in Africa. We're not saying we're the whole solution, but with our blend of tech and human touch, we're proud to be playing our part.

We’re a lean, low ego, highly skilled team of multidisciplinary experts, including Growth, Product, Engineering, Analytics, Clinical, Customer Success, Training, Finance and People. We are product-led: we always start with what our customers need and work as a team to deliver from there. Our team uses modern tools and practices, and customer-centric ways of working.

Our Products

Pharmacy Product

We are building a next-generation, enterprise-level dispensary and pharmacy management system. The scope is epic: we are preparing to process millions of transactions per week, through 500+ pharmacies across Southern Africa - while empowering pharmacists to support patients in an integrated care network.

Healthforce Clinic

A clinical platform that enables nurses and doctors to work together focused around the needs of the patient. If needed, the nurse can make a video call to a Healthforce doctor who can provide advice, prescriptions and sick notes. This brings low cost, high quality healthcare to millions who normally can’t afford it.

Our story

No one should face barriers to care, and so we’ve made it our purpose to alleviate suffering and open up opportunities.

We create technology solutions that enable affordable team-based healthcare organised around the needs of the patient. From frontline care to national-level impact, our work empowers teams to deliver better health outcomes for millions of people across South Africa.

Guided by relentless curiosity and a drive to create better ways, our 130-strong team collaborates across Johannesburg, Cape Town, and remote settings to revolutionise healthcare. With a Big Hairy Audacious Goal to care for 75 million people by 2032, we are helping to shape a future where patients are valued and their health is prioritised.

Work with pioneers in the industry

Collaborate and connect with purpose-driven health-tech innovators and create products that users love. Work in an environment that drives cross-functional delivery and agile ways of work, where clinicians, engineers, analysts, product experts, and designers tenaciously build stuff that is easy to use. Plus, enjoy more spontaneous connections through Idealab, our org-wide Hackathon event, randomised virtual coffee sessions, or one of our Joburg, Cape Town, or virtual socials.

Grow and develop

In an organisation with multiple products, each in different stages of growth, there are infinite ways to learn and grow. You’ll join a dynamic environment at the forefront of innovation in health-tech while advancing your own skills and knowledge. We have access to field-specific coaching and learning platforms as well as monthly SPARK AI sessions—an internal guild fostering discovery and discussions on AI in our industry.

As part of our culture of valuing people, we love to recognise growth and great work through our Humans of the Force nominations and our Kudos initiative.
