Job description

Schedule: Varied shifts from Monday - Saturday

Join one of Australia's leading healthcare companies, committed to supporting quality, affordable and accessible healthcare for all Australians.

Every pathology sample collected helps us deliver high-quality diagnostic services that help clinicians make informed decisions and support better health outcomes. Whether you're an experienced Pathology Collector or eager to pursue pathology collection as a career, this is a rewarding role where you can make a positive impact supporting patients within your local community.

Due to the nature of this position, a valid unrestricted driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle are required.

About The Role

A Mobile Pathology Collector plays an important role in supporting patients who may have difficulty travelling to access healthcare services. Travelling between patient homes, aged care facilities and community locations, you'll interact directly with patients to take blood samples, collect other pathology specimens and perform diagnostic tests. You'll work independently while ensuring all samples are collected and handled accurately in accordance with documented procedures and quality requirements.

Key responsibilities:

• Travel between patient homes, aged care facilities and community locations to provide collection services
• Perform venepuncture procedures (taking blood samples directly from patients) and collect other pathology specimens
• Conduct diagnostic tests such as ECGs, blood pressure monitoring and Holter monitoring as required
• Build positive relationships with patients, carers and healthcare providers while delivering a professional and caring experience
• Plan and manage daily collections across multiple locations
• Maintain accurate patient records and registers of specimens collected
• Prepare, pre-sort and package specimens ready for transport to laboratories
• Maintain collection supplies and a safe, clean and professional mobile work environment

About You

Previous pathology collection experience and a Certificate III in Pathology Collection will be highly regarded, however, we also welcome applications from people with backgrounds in healthcare, aged care, disability support, nursing or customer-facing roles where providing a high level of care and service is a core part of the role.

• Previous pathology collection experience (highly regarded), or a background in healthcare, aged care, disability support, nursing or customer service
• Certificate III in Pathology Collection (preferred)
• Strong communication skills and comfortable building trust and rapport with patients
• The ability to work independently, manage priorities and organise your day effectively
• A valid unrestricted driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle
• Ability and willingness to travel between multiple locations
• A valid Working With Children Check (WWCC), or willingness to obtain one prior to commencing employment
• Ability to provide evidence of immunisation requirements, including Hepatitis B
• Live within, or a reasonable distance from, the designated area this position covers

This role requires completion of a 6-week paid training program designed to build the skills and knowledge needed to succeed as a Pathology Collector. Training requires full-time availability for the first 2 weeks, followed by a minimum of 25 hours per week for the remaining 4 weeks. Training is delivered internally by Healius as part of your onboarding and may be accelerated based on previous experience.
