Lead Laboratory Assistant, Clinical Lab

 

Lead Laboratory Assistant, Clinical Lab

If you love variety, teamwork, and making a real impact every day, this role is for you! As a vital member of our laboratory team, you’ll be on the front lines of patient care—collecting and processing specimens, supporting multiple lab departments, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll balance hands‑on technical work with customer service and clerical coordination, acting as the key connection between the lab, clinical teams, and our patients. Beyond the day‑to‑day, you’ll step into a leadership role by mentoring and training new lab assistants, helping them build strong adult and pediatric phlebotomy skills and setting them up for success. If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment, take pride in accuracy, and enjoy being a go‑to resource for both people and processes, you’ll feel right at home here.
