At Care Fertility, you'll join a welcoming, forward-thinking team that values collaboration and actively encourages new ideas. We foster a supportive environment where your voice matters and we value your contribution to our continuous improvement program.

We’re committed to your professional growth. Our structured career framework and dedicated Learning & Development team will support you every step of the way. You’ll have access to:

• Internal training programmes
• Funded external courses
• A clear path for career progression

As a Clinical Embryologist, you’ll play a vital role in all aspects of laboratory work, including oocyte collection, sperm preparation and freezing, insemination and ICSI, fertilisation and embryo assessment, embryo freezing and transfer, and oocyte cryopreservation, all tailored to your level of experience. If you’re trained in biopsy, there are opportunities to get involved there too; if not, we will train you.

• Perform a range of routine embryological duties including ICSI and embryo biopsy.
• Coordinate treatment cycles with the multi-disciplinary team and provide patients with the best possible treatment experience.
• Carry out roles in a way that supports and delivers our shared values of caring, patient focus and commitment.

What we’re looking for

You are a state-registered, ICSI-trained Clinical Embryologist passionate about delivering outstanding care and understanding the vital role of the laboratory in the patient journey. Biopsy training is an advantage but not essential. Above all, you bring professionalism, curiosity, and compassion to everything you do.

We’re Care Fertility, the largest private provider of IVF and fertility treatment in the UK. We draw on the knowledge of our wider team of over 600 dedicated doctors, embryologists, nurses and support staff who all work together to ensure patients receive the best fertility treatment. We value collaboration, respect and shared success.
