Is Candesic right for you?
What We Look For and What We Offer
We have ambitious growth plans and are always keen on growing our team with talented individuals. Whether you are a student looking for an internship, a graduate looking for a first job, a medic looking to transition to the business world, or a seasoned professional looking for a new challenge. We offer a unique career opportunity in an intellectually stimulating and fast-paced environment. We would like to hear from you if you have:
- an interest in healthcare
- a rigorous approach to problem solving
- an ability to communicate complex issues in simple terms.
It is also critical that we share the same values which for us are:
- Excellence: Our clients expect top-quality work output and advice. Analytical rigour, accuracy and depth fuel our work.
- Initiative: We aim to go beyond what is expected of us, be curious and proactively raise and execute ideas and solutions.
- Collaboration: Teamwork is key. Diverse skills and thinking are reflected in our medicine, science, and business backgrounds.
- Inclusivity: We are an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and inclusion as drivers of business and societal success.
- Passion: Our work is driven by the belief that it helps to achieve better outcomes for healthcare patients and practitioners.
For students starting your careers, we offer internship opportunities throughout the year to accommodate individual circumstances:
- 3-4 weeks for doctors to get a feel for the consulting world during your time off
- 1-2 months during the summer break for university students with a background in healthcare
- 3-9 months longer term internships as part of studies or prospecting career changes
For graduates, we offer an attractive analyst career path that we hope will be the beginning of a long career with us in consulting. You will initially be supported with significant training, development and mentorship to ensure you have the right tools and support to succeed with us. This training continues during your career and is tailored to different levels.
For medics, ideally having completed FY2, a career with us allows you to leverage your practical experience and knowledge while expanding your toolkit into practical and actionable business advice. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to expand into other areas of healthcare and lifesciences. Over the years, we have built a successful track record for such transitions.
If you are an experienced professional with a track-record in consulting and you are looking for a new opportunity, we are always keen to get to know you and explore open roles. As we cover a wide range of consulting services, experience in most areas of consulting is relevant to us. Many of our senior consultants started their careers at other firms and have built Candesic into what it is today.
Our ongoing training, development, and career progression path will help you become a well-rounded consulting professional. Should you decide to change your path in the future, the attractive positions that our alumni have gone to in the corporate and investment world are a testament to the strength of the experience we provide.

Dr Iham Kasem
I started with an internship and had the privilege to work on a major project with a diverse team, including those with medical, scientific, or business backgrounds. Upon completing my internship, the decision to transition to a full-time Analyst role at Candesic was natural and straightforward. The boutique nature of Candesic and its commitment to delivering excellent outcomes are evident on a daily basis. The team gets along very well, fostering a real sense of camaraderie. I’ve found everyone to be incredibly supportive and willing to help since joining the firm.
Candesic has proven to be a great place to work, and the environment encourages personal development. The opportunities to learn from my colleagues and to lead my own pieces of work have been excellent. I would strongly encourage anyone considering applying to go for it!"
