Job Summary

Optimism Health Group is a healthcare investment business, focussing specifically on the rapidly growing market for the provision of healthcare products and clinical services to older people.

Through a series of acquisitions, we have created the UK's leading provider of optical and hearing care at home, OutsideClinic Group.

Last year we delivered over 220,000 domiciliary clinics for older people in their own homes, as well as in care homes and sheltered housing.

This life-changing service operates right across the UK, supporting the NHS to provide vital eye and hearing care to people who may struggle to get to the high street unaided.

We have identified both the need and opportunity to scale the service over the next few years.

We are investing to scale the offering to deliver an ambitious growth strategy. We're putting developing our people at the heart of everything we do.

The Group currently consists of twenty companies with the aim to generate turnover for the 2024 financial year of around £50m.
