The Company & The Role

Digital 51 are exclusively partnered with Healthunlocked as they look to recruit their new Head of Development.

This role is not a new hire, it’s a replacement hire. We share that information as it sits at the heart of the opportunity. The existing Head of Development has been with the business near enough since inception, and now feels it is the right time to move on. This has created the opportunity for the role to change and take a new shape moving forwards.

This role as you will see below has effectively been re-shaped to cover the three areas, and opportunities which Development represent to Healthunlocked.

Facet one is for the Head of Development to still have a passion and desire to be at the cutting edge of development and pure coding themselves. The second element of this role is to be a fantastic, effective, and clear leader to the already established Development team. The final part of the role is to provide a strategic insight into the future Development pathway for Healthunlocked and the how the platform develops from this point.
