Your Opportunity:

Make a meaningful impact every day as a phlebotomist in the Inpatient Collections at the University of Alberta Hospital, where you'll be a key member of a collaborative healthcare team.

In this role you will have the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, patient-centered setting where attention to detail, professionalism, and compassion are essential. Your strong attention to detail and time management skills will flourish as you receive and sort specimens into the lab and prepare them for transport as well as ensuring quality control and maintenance of lab equipment. With these responsibilities, you will be required to push and pull phlebotomy carts up to 10 lbs of dynamic force and lift up to 10 lbs of inventory. This role offers shifts that rotate through days, evenings and nights to support our 24/7 operations. If you're passionate about healthcare, thrive in a physically active and team-oriented environment, and are ready to grow your skills in one of Alberta’s leading medical facilities—this is the opportunity for you.
