Donor & Surrogacy Team Leader
Fertility & Reproductive Health
We are seeking an experienced healthcare leader to step into a pivotal Donor & Surrogacy Team Leader role within a well-established and values-driven fertility organisation.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership position overseeing donor and surrogacy services across multiple locations, with a strong focus on quality, compliance, patient safety, and team leadership. The role is ideal for health managers with experience in fertility clinics, and those with donor and surrogacy exposure will be highly regarded.
We also strongly encourage applications from experienced fertility health professionals ready to step into leadership, including:
- Registered Nurses
- Midwives
- Embryologists
- Counsellors
- Health Administration & Practice Managers
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Donor Program, the Donor & Surrogacy Team Leader plays a key role in ensuring safe, ethical, and compliant delivery of donor and surrogacy services. You will lead a multidisciplinary donor team, coordinate complex patient journeys, and act as a central operational link between clinical, laboratory, counselling, administrative, and corporate teams.
