Anne Health is a not-for-profit organisation providing private gender-affirming healthcare to trans people across the UK. We were founded to address the critical gap in NHS provision, where over 48,000 people are waiting up to 25 years for care.
We believe in human-centred healthcare delivered by real professionals, transparent pricing, and making gender-affirming care accessible and affordable. Everything we do is grounded in warmth, dignity, and genuine care for our community.
Role Purpose
We are recruiting four Administrative Support team members to join Anne Health during an exciting period of growth. These roles will sit across three teams, providing essential administrative support that keeps our services running smoothly and our patients well looked after.

Application Process
To apply, please submit two documents saved in PDF format as listed below. Applications without these two documents will not be reviewed.
Please note: We want to hear your voice, not a chatbot's. Applications where answers appear to have been generated using AI tools (such as ChatGPT) will not be assessed. We're looking for genuine, thoughtful responses that show us who you are and how you think.
- Your CV
- A document answering the following three questions using information found on our website (www.anne.health):
Question 1:
A potential patient emails asking: “I’m 17 and live in Scotland. I’ve been on the NHS waiting list for 3 years but can’t wait any longer. Can you help me? What would I need to do to get started with Anne Health, and how much would it cost?”
Draft your email response using information from our website.
Question 2:
You receive three messages at the same time:
- Email: “I’m having suicidal thoughts and don’t know what to do”
- Webchat: “Hi, I’d like to book an appointment for next Tuesday please”
- Phone call: Someone asking general questions about your services
Explain in order how you would handle each of these, and why.
Question 3:
A patient calls you sounding frustrated and anxious. They explain:
"I've been trying to register on your website for the past hour and I just can't get it to work. Every time I try to set up the Direct Debit thing, it says there's an error. I'm not very good with computers and this is really stressing me out. I've been waiting years for NHS care and I really need to get this sorted. I'm worried I'm going to lose my appointment slot if I can't get registered in time."
From a quick check, you can see:
- They have successfully created an account but haven't completed the payment setup
- Their appointment is in 10 days
- The Direct Debit system is working fine for other patients
- Common issues include browser problems, entering bank details incorrectly, or not completing all required fields
Please provide:
- A script or outline of how you would handle this phone call (what would you say to reassure them and guide them through the process?)
- Step-by-step instructions you would talk them through to help resolve the issue (written as if you're explaining it over the phone to someone who is anxious and not confident with technology)
- Your reasoning (one short paragraph explaining your approach to supporting this patient and how you would ensure they feel confident and supported)
