About the role

This is a great opportunity for a Medical Laboratory Technician to learn new skills by joining our Component Processing Laboratory who are responsible for a range of duties including processing of blood and blood products, quality and process control procedures.


If successful, you will be trained to:

  • Manufacture pooled platelets from buffy coats
  • Manufacture cryoprecipitate from plasma
  • Manufacture resuspended red cell, buffy coats and plasma from whole blood
  • Perform quality control testing on the products we manufacture such as bacterial testing.


You will be joining a well-established team of Scientists and Technicians committed to quality service, high standards and patient well-being.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will:

  • Be Registered with the Medical Sciences Council as a Medical Laboratory Technician
  • Be able to demonstrate excellent organisational, interpersonal and communication skills
  • Have the ability to achieve the targets and objectives of the service.
  • Have a positive attitude
  • Have the ability to work as part of a closeknit team
  • Be flexible to fully participate in our roster that also includes evening and weekend work.
Experience in a Component Processing Laboratory or other medical laboratory is advantageous but not essential.

So, if you are registered as a Medical Laboratory Technician with the NZ Medical Sciences Council and are looking for a rewarding role, then this role could be for you.
