Our ambition
FuturU is a new moonshot start-up spun out of Newcross Healthcare Solutions.
The healthcare industry is facing a crisis: there simply aren’t enough skilled professionals to meet the growing demand. At FuturU, we believe that by making healthcare education free and accessible to all, we can help solve this problem and raise the standard of care everywhere.
That’s why we aim to be the world's leading learning platform for healthcare workers and a pioneer in learning technology. We’re creating a learning platform that’s modern, joined up, efficient, reliable and most of all, effective. One that’s accessible to everyone and provides exceptional learning experiences and support.
Our goals
To be the healthcare sector’s learning partner for life, creating the best trained workforce by offering high quality immersive and interactive training via our mobile app and website. Learning and development that’s not only modern, rigorous, and comprehensive – but free at the point of access.

What can we offer?
We are a remote team so you can work at a place that suits you. We operate across different timezones so flexibility is built in. We focus on outcomes rather than presenteeism and aim for work/life harmony rather than balance. Kids, cats and dogs often show up on our Google Meet calls and we are fans of walking meetings when you don’t need to be at a screen. Of course we’ll supply you all the IT kit of your choosing. We offer a culture that’s supportive and encourages authenticity with inclusion at the heart of our decision making.
Most importantly, we are united in the mission to provide universal access to free healthcare education and we are unapologetically bold in our aims to transform the sector.
