The Company

AusHealth Work, a division of The AusHealth Hospital Research Fund (AusHealth), has been a national workplace safety and wellbeing leader since 1985 and specialises in providing drug and alcohol testing services. We are currently seeking to expand our Technician network to work with AusHealth clients based in the Cairns region. Our clients engage AusHealth to conduct workplace testing for the presence of drugs and alcohol through planned testing events as well as unplanned testing, following work incidents.

The Opportunity

As one of our valued Technicians, your work will involve:

• Maintaining the chain of custody of specimens and accurate records of all on-site visits.

• Organising the transportation of specimens to laboratories after collection as required

As a casual specimen Technician, your working hours will fluctuate in line with our client needs and as such, there is no guarantee of regular and consistent hours.

You will need to be generally available 24/7 due to the nature of our work – this includes being available at short notice for incident response. Possession of a smartphone, current driver’s license and reliable vehicle is essential. Whilst not mandatory for all clients, a high number of our clients require staff to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Evidence will be required of this for specific clients.

About You

To be a successful member of our team, you will be comfortable to:

• Work autonomously and independently

• Follow clearly defined processes

• Pay strong attention to detail

• Solve problems and issues logically

• Communicate clearly and effectively

• Build rapport with a diverse audience and customers

• Provide excellent customer service

• Resolve issues and conflict

• Operate technology effectively such as tablets and testing equipment

• Operate ethically and strictly maintain privacy and confidentiality

• Work in a timely manner

Experience and training in the health sector, handling biological specimens and/or workplace safety will be highly regarded. You must be legally entitled to live and work in Australia and preferably be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
