Job description

An opportunity has arisen to join our dedicated team of forensic Client Service Administrators. A Client Services Administrator plays a key role in supporting the smooth and efficient running of our DNA Laboratory. This is a dynamic, customer focused position where you will be the friendly, knowledgeable link between our laboratory teams and the clients we serve. You will handle a variety of tasks including managing calls, responding to sample enquiries, preparing reports, and ensuring accurate data entry into the LIMS system currently in use. The role offers plenty of variety and requires someone who enjoys working collaboratively, communicating confidently, and adapting to shifting priorities. Your flexibility and attention to detail will help us consistently meet our contractual turnaround times (TRTs) and deliver an exceptional service experience to both internal and external customers. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the work, applicants should note that security clearance is required for this role. To gain security clearance you must have five years continuous residency in the UK. Security clearance is undertaken by a third party to police personnel vetting standards (NPPV/3 and SC), as such any criminal convictions may prevent you from gaining security clearance. Further information on the security clearance process and requirement can be found at https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/police-forces/warwickshire-police/areas/warwickshire-police-police-national-vetting-service/. In addition, all successful applicants will be required to undertake drug and alcohol testing prior to commencing employment.

• Uphold EFS policies and processes and embody our values of Customer Focus, Quality, Competence, Team Spirit and Integrity every day. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, high-volume environment and enjoys the challenge of working to precise regulatory standards. You'll be part of a genuinely supportive team where clear communication, collaboration and a positive, hands‑on attitude keep everything running smoothly.
• Every task you take on is grounded in GLP excellence, ensuring each sample is handled with total accuracy, integrity and traceability. While previous lab experience is a bonus, it's not a barrier - you'll receive full, structured training to build your confidence, develop your technical skills and set you up for success from day one.
• Confident in maintaining up-to-date competence in all trained areas, including adapting to method updates and new ways of working.
• Strong fast and accurate data-entry skills, with real attention to detail.
