Lab Help

Smith County Memorial Hospital
Job Description

For many patients, the laboratory is a uniquely personal part of their visit. It’s a chair, a tourniquet, and a few minutes with someone who’s either going to put you at ease — or not. Our team knows that difference is the whole job.

 

They also know what happens after you leave the chair. Checking an armband for the two-hundredth time that day with the same care they gave the first. Repeating a result that didn’t look right. Catching the value that doesn’t fit the patient. Redrawing a specimen because “close enough” isn’t a standard we keep.

 

Nearly 70% of medical decisions start with a lab result. Which means before a diagnosis is made, before treatment begins, before a family gets an answer, someone in our lab got it right and treated the patient well while doing it.

 

We’re hiring lab help. Here’s who thrives here:

🔬 People who are good with patients first — the nervous six-year-old, the 90-year-old with paper-thin veins, the oncology patient who’s been stuck a hundred times. Confidence without roughness.

🔬 People who stay alert inside routine work — who notice the one result out of a thousand that doesn’t belong.

🔬 People who can carry what they know. In a community this size, you’ll draw neighbors, classmates’ parents, folks from your own pew. Discretion isn’t a policy here. It’s character.

 

If that sounds like you, we’d like to talk.

 

We’re hiring an MLT, MLS/MT or Lab Assistant. Starting pay commensurate with experience and certifications. We are happy to train the right candidate. Apply online at scmhks.org/careers. Position open until filled. SCMH is an equal opportunity employer.
