About Oviva

Oviva provides digital care for obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Its app is backed by teams of doctors, dietitians and behavioural specialists, who support patients over time.

Its stated mission is to provide the most accessible and effective care for people living with weight-related conditions, building a healthier future for all.

Oviva was founded in 2014 and is Swiss-German by origin. London was its first office outside Switzerland, opened in 2015, and it is listed at Borough High Street. It has worked in the NHS since 2016, runs the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (from 2019) and offers NHS Tier 3 weight management by GP referral.

Its site says it publishes its outcomes and invites people who like ideas and responsibility to apply. We did not find current headcount, and the 600 staff figure on its page is from 2021 and covers all countries.

We found no graduate scheme, internship or apprenticeship information, and no UK job listings. Check the Oviva careers page for roles such as dietitian and coach.
