Phlebotomist

Whether you are an experienced Phlebotomist or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Kathu. The team hires on merit and across communities in Northern Cape.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Kathu operation, and this Phlebotomist position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the health jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape business.

Crucially, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Kathu team on trust, and the Phlebotomist role will feel that from week one.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Phlebotomist to step into the health jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Day in the Life

You start your shift with a thorough handover, picking up patient histories, treatment plans and any concerns from the previous team. The morning is paced but purposeful — vital signs, medication rounds, bedside conversations — and you’re constantly switching between clinical tasks and the very human work of reassuring patients and families. Multi-disciplinary rounds give you a chance to advocate for your patients, and by the time you hand over again, you have done meaningful work that makes a real difference to the people in your care.

On top of that, the Kathu office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
