Recruitment and staff benefits
Find out what we're looking for in our staff and what you'll get in return.
What we're looking for
Step inside the HFEA and you’ll find a close-knit group of hard-working people dedicated to achieving high quality care for everyone who steps into a fertility clinic and everyone born as a result of treatment.
What you'll get in return
The work is fascinating and rewarding and we offer a range of benefits including flexible working (including condensed hours/home working), an annual leave allowance of 27.5 days (rising to 32.5 after five years’ service), buying and selling of annual leave, an early finish on a Friday and a generous pension package.
We know how important it is to continually develop yourself, both for you and the organisation. We provide development opportunities throughout the year for all staff and we encourage them take part in learning as part of their personal development. We provide access to Civil Service Learning and Delta.Net, both offering a wide range of e-learning and online resources, as well as face-to-face training opportunities.
We also offer discounts and freebies through Perkbox and a confidential advice line for staff and their family members.
In November 2024, the HFEA was awarded People Insight's Outstanding Workplace Award 2024.
This award is for organisations that achieve a top-quartile employee engagement score, of 85% percent or higher, in their employee survey. The award highlights organisations that are investing in employee engagement and sparking positive change as a result of employee feedback. It recognises the value these top-quartile organisations place on employee engagement and shows employees and potential hires how much their employer cares about improving the experience people have at work.
