Healix safeguard's people's health and wellbeing in every corner of the world. We offer international risk management and assistance services around the globe and employee healthcare benefits within the UK.

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.

As a result, we have an impressive list of clients - ranging from governments, broadcasters, NGOs to international corporations, major insurers and more.

Personal Attributes

• Independent, objective, and ethical.

• Confident self starter with a delivery focused mindset.

• Pragmatic and commercially aware, balancing risk with operational reality.
