Phlebotomist

Bring your skills as a Phlebotomist to Harrismith and join a team that moves fast. This Free State role is one to watch.

About the Opportunity

The Phlebotomist vacancy forms part of how the Harrismith branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the health jobs side of the business moving forward.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the health jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the health jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Harrismith much easier.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Harrismith teams, and the new Phlebotomist will feel that from the first week.

Your Future Here

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the health jobs team in Harrismith have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Harrismith team member.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
