Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is recruiting a senior healthcare support worker to join its fertility and IVF team. The role is open to applicants without previous fertility experience, because full training is provided in this specialist area.

The successful applicant will work alongside nurses, doctors, embryologists and administrative staff, supporting patients through fertility treatment.

Working pattern and interviews

Day shifts are scheduled between 8am and 5pm, with regular weekend on-call duties on a rota. The trust lists an interview date of 12 November. Applicants should check the shift pattern at interview, as the vacancy notice asks candidates to confirm the details there.

The closing date shown on the official vacancy page is 6 November 2026. The trust also warns that it may close the vacancy earlier once enough applications have been received, so interested candidates should not assume the full window will remain open.

What applicants should know

The vacancy notice states that the trust is unable to offer Skilled Worker sponsorship for this role, which falls within occupation code 6131. It adds that the Immigration Salary List is due to close on 31 December 2026, after which the occupation code is not expected to remain eligible for sponsorship for new applicants.

For staff starting out in the NHS, the trust lists 27 days of paid annual leave plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days with service, plus occupational health support and access to the NHS Pension scheme.
