As a Phlebotomy Lead at Ampath, you will be at the heart of our Care Centre operations - guiding a team of dedicated professionals to deliver exceptional patient care and operational excellence. This role is about more than just oversight; it is about inspiring a high-performance culture where every team member feels empowered, supported, and driven to succeed. You will play a pivotal role in shaping a workplace where people thrive, processes run smoothly, and quality is never compromised.
Role Requirements
To be successful in this role, you will need a relevant HPCSA qualification or a recognised Phlebotomy or Nursing qualification, along with active registration with the HPCSA or SANC. These credentials ensure you are equipped with the foundational knowledge and professional standing to lead with confidence and credibility in a clinical environment.
We are looking for someone who brings at least three years of hands-on experience in phlebotomy or a similar role within a pathology setting. Your background should reflect a deep understanding of the clinical environment, a commitment to patient care, and a readiness to step into a leadership role where your experience can elevate team performance and service delivery.
Skills Requirements
This role calls for a well-rounded skill set. You should be comfortable using computer systems, including MS Outlook, Windows, and Excel, and have strong communication skills in English - both written and verbal. A solid grasp of numerical reasoning will help you make informed decisions and support operational planning. If you also bring business and financial acumen, or familiarity with systems like Meditech and relevant employment legislation, that’s a definite plus. Most importantly, you should be passionate about developing people and creating a workplace where learning and growth are part of everyday life.
Role Impact

You will champion operational efficiency, ensuring that our services are delivered seamlessly and with care. You will guide your team with clarity and purpose, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. Your leadership will help shape a people-first environment where engagement is high, learning is ongoing, and talent is nurtured for the future. By aligning team efforts with Ampath’s strategic goals, you will contribute to a workplace where excellence is not just expected, it is inspired.
