About the role

Join a passionate and supportive team as a Pre-Analytical Operational Services Officer, where your dedication to patient care and precision will help shape the delivery of vital health services.

If you’re enthusiastic, detail-oriented, and ready to grow in a dynamic healthcare environment, we’d love to hear from you.
