The Role
UK Laboratory Administrators play a vital role in shaping each patient’s fertility journey. This position supports laboratory functions across the UK, helping to coordinate the safe and timely transportation of gametes and embryos between clinics, guiding patients through the annual storage fee process, and ensuring consents for stored samples are managed with absolute care. Every step in this work must be completed in full alignment with TFP’s unified SOPs and the HFEA Code of Practice; standards that protect patients, ensure regulatory compliance, and uphold the integrity of our laboratories. Because these processes directly impact patients’ hopes, plans, and stored reproductive material, exceptional attention to detail is essential. The post holder must be able to self‑manage effectively, staying organized, prioritising tasks confidently, and maintaining accuracy even in a busy and sensitive environment. Above all, the role requires clear, compassionate communication. You will guide patients through complex and sometimes emotional decisions, ensuring they feel supported, informed, and cared for at every stage.
