About Joy:

Joy (www.thejoyapp.com) is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) start-up with customers across the health, social care, and community sector, covering over 6 million patients. We exist because 1 in 5 GP appointments are for non-medical needs, such as loneliness, isolation, or financial worries, and 10% of pills prescribed are inappropriate.

Our platform seeks to add ten years to life expectancy by taking a more holistic approach to health that emphasises personal values and identifies the root causes of problems. Joy makes it as easy to refer a patient to a community group as it is to prescribe an anti-depressant. 

We are a fast-growing start-up, backed by global investors. Our London office is a passionate team from diverse professional backgrounds, with decades of combined experience in innovation, strategy, technology products, and customer success. We care deeply about learning from each other, building up talent and delivering excellence to our customers daily.
