About the role

Join our dynamic Pre-Analytical Services team as an Operational Services Officer, where you will play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and effective management of specimens and delivering outstanding care to patients. Your responsibilities will include phlebotomy, specimen collection, management, and administration, utilising Laboratory Information Systems to ensure accurate and timely handling of patient information. You’ll also be responsible for receiving, sorting, and preparing specimens for analysis, ensuring proper storage and transportation under defined conditions, and providing high-quality customer service to both internal and external stakeholders.

At an OPS1 level, you’ll receive close direction and extensive training, while an OPS2 level involves greater autonomy and responsibility. In both cases, you’ll be contributing to the timely diagnosis and treatment of patients and collaborating within a multidisciplinary team to support quality healthcare outcomes. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your skills in a vital healthcare setting and make a meaningful impact.

• Exceptional Communication and Customer Service Skills: Outstanding oral and written communication abilities, coupled with a commitment to achieving positive, timely, and confidential customer service outcomes.
• Strong Work Ethic and Teamwork: Demonstrated reliability, a proactive approach to your role, and the ability to work collaboratively while fostering mutual support within a team environment.
• Attention to Detail and High Performance: Proven ability to deliver accurate, high-quality work, prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment, and maintain a consistent standard of excellence.
• Knowledge and Professionalism: A solid understanding of Work Health and Safety, infection control principles, and confidentiality, with a commitment to continuous professional development.
