Job description
MEDICAL OFFICER - INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE – HM GOVERNMENT STAFF OVERSEAS
Healix International is a leading provider of international medical assistance services to a wide range of public and private sector organisations. In particular Healix operates One HMG Healthline, the overseas health coordination service for British diplomatic staff and dependants overseas.
We are looking for a doctor to join our existing team of One HMG Healthline medical officers based at our headquarters in Esher, Surrey. Working part-time, you would be responsible for coordinating the healthcare of British diplomats overseas. This involves acting as a source of medical advice to UK government staff in a very wide variety of locations around the world, providing clinical oversight of care overseas, advising on the necessity to return to the UK for medical care and making decisions about medical evacuation. The role also involves approving pre-travel medical clearance for diplomatic staff and you will be a point of contact for providing medical advice to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office as well as other government departments who have staff overseas. Senior clinical supervision is available at all times.
We currently have a vacancy for a doctor to work five sessions a week at just over £12,750 per session per annum. There is an option to join a 1:4 daytime weekend on call duty for urgent cases only which is separately remunerated. You would also be eligible to take part in international aeromedical patient transfers if you wished – that work would also be paid separately.
Working for the One HMG Healthline team is challenging, exciting and varied – you will also gain a unique insight into how the UK Government operates overseas through its network of diplomatic missions. Good interpersonal and communication skills are absolutely essential and you must have the confidence and experience to be able to cope with a wide range of medical situations. You will need to be able to explain complex medical issues to non-medical clients and learn to apply your medical expertise within a commercial environment.
Candidates for this post must have at least five years post-qualification experience, have MRCGP and be a practising UK GP on the NHS Performers List.

About The Company
We offer UK employee healthcare benefits, and travel, medical and security assistance in every corner of the globe. Our purpose is to help people in difficult situations – whether that’s a cancer diagnosis, a need for medical assistance when they’re far from home, or being caught up in conflict or natural disaster. We talk to them, support them, and make sure they get the help they need. If necessary, we’ll pull them out and bring them home.
We’re co-ordinators and problem-solvers: experts at navigating the global health and security landscape. Our teams of doctors, nurses, travel and medical co-ordinators and security experts make sure that your people will be looked after, whatever happens supported by technology designed help individuals, not slot them into a predetermined solution.
We work with governments, broadcasters, NGOs, international corporations, major insurers and more. No two clients are the same: we adapt our services to their needs.
More importantly, we adapt to the practical and human needs of the individuals we protect. Most of us are on the front line; we keep our back office lean. We don’t use scripts, and we don’t time calls. We never lose sight of the fact that we’re dealing with real people.
Company Culture
Instead, we focus on ensuring our highly trained specialists have the space and time they need to be effective. We let them use their initiative to get the job done, because the situations they face often throw up unexpected challenges – and no protocol survives contact with the real world.
Our clients have thousands of employees and customers, at home and abroad, so they need a business big enough to handle any situation. But they chose Healix because they also need an organisation that’s personal enough to care.
Our people are driven to do things in the best way, not the way they have always been done. We work hard, and our efforts are rewarded with great development opportunities and a supportive team spirit.
We want to nurture this friendly and dynamic company culture so that we can continue to attract diverse talent with a breadth of knowledge and world-class skills. As a part of Healix, you can expect a range of excellent benefits and an environment where people really do care.
