Qalyup

We connect patients with vetted international healthcare providers for affordable, safe, and transparent medical care abroad.

NQ Solicitor

About Qalyup

At Qalyup, we believe people should be able to access the healthcare they need to improve their health and quality of life.
 
Every year, thousands of patients travel internationally for medical treatment. While this can unlock faster access to care and specialised expertise, it can also carry significant risks. Between 2019 and 2024, 28 British nationals died while undergoing medical treatment overseas. And that is only the visible part of a much larger problem.
 
Qalyup exists to change that.
 
We connect patients with vetted, high quality healthcare providers abroad, helping people return home healthier and with peace of mind. To ensure trust and transparency, we personally visit and assess clinics using our proprietary clinical quality assessment methodology, developed through academic research at Imperial College London.
 
Our mission is simple: make healthcare tourism safer. But our ambition is global ��

The Role

We're looking for a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join us at a pivotal moment, helping build the legal foundations of a purpose-driven healthcare startup from the ground up.

This isn't a passive role. You'll do real work that matters: creating, reviewing, and implementing the frameworks that will shape how we operate, protect our patients, and grow responsibly. By the time you're done, you'll have a portfolio of tangible, measurable achievements, not just experience ticks.

What You'll Do

• Create employment and volunteer contracts to support our early recruitment efforts.
• Create advisor agreements with performance-driven vesting schedules.
• Create co-founder agreements with performance-driven vesting schedules.
• Review and strengthen our patient-facing terms and conditions.
• Audit and refine our privacy policy for compliance and clarity.
• Evaluate and review our contractual agreements with partner clinics.
• Implement a scalable contract management system.

What You'll Bring

• Qualified solicitor in England & Wales.
• A genuine interest in healthcare law and the regulatory landscape.
• Proactive, solutions-first mindset; you spot problems before they're asked about.
• Openness to feedback and a drive to keep improving.
• Alignment with our mission-driven and social impact purpose.

Why Join Qalyup

Healthcare decisions are deeply personal. When people consider treatment abroad, they are often navigating uncertainty, urgency, and the hope of getting their health and their life back.
 
At Qalyup, we are building a trusted gateway that helps patients make these decisions with confidence. By bringing transparency and clinical quality assessment into healthcare tourism, we aim to remove the uncertainty that patients and families often face.
 
By joining our legal function, you will help shape a company working to make international healthcare safer, more transparent, and truly centred around the needs of patients. Your insight will help us build a trusted brand that empowers people to seek the care they need with confidence.
 
If this resonates with you and you would like to learn more, we would love to hear from you ��

Our Values

�� Clinical quality above all
We work with vetted providers that deliver clinical excellence. Our clinical partners are carefully selected and monitored.

���� Listening is our superpower
Hearing what our users and colleagues have to say is our most powerful tool for continuous improvement.

���� Empowering informed decisions
