About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) to join the Genetics Section at Canterbury Health Laboratories (www.chl.co.nz) in a fixed term role.

This vacancy is a full time (40 hours per week), six-month fixed term role, working normal business hours Monday to Friday. The fixed term is currently anticipated to continue until 19/07/2025 when a parental leave vacancy comes to an end.

We are ideally looking for an MLT with previous experience working in a diagnostic genetic testing laboratory. However, applications from Trainee Medical Laboratory Technicians will be considered and full training will be provided.
