As the Area Phlebotomy Manager, you are entrusted with leading a cluster of Care Centres, ensuring operational excellence, quality assurance, and people development. This role is pivotal in shaping a high-performance culture by empowering Phlebotomy Leads, enhancing patient experiences, and driving continuous improvement across all touchpoints. You are not just managing operations--you are cultivating a thriving environment where leadership, learning, and engagement intersect to deliver exceptional care.


Job Requirements

Role Requirements

You bring a strong foundation of clinical and managerial expertise to this role. A recognised qualification in Phlebotomy or Nursing ensures you understand the clinical environment, while registration with HPCSA or SANC confirms your professional standing. A formal management qualification equips you to lead with confidence and clarity, balancing operational demands with strategic foresight. These qualifications position you to guide your team with credibility and purpose. Your experience reflects a journey of growth and leadership within the pathology environment. With at least three years in a supervisory role, you have successfully led teams, managed operations, and driven quality outcomes. Up to six years of hands-on experience in a Care Centre has shaped your understanding of the complexities of patient care, staff coordination, and service excellence. This background enables you to navigate challenges with agility and lead your cluster with insight and impact.

Skills Requirements

You are a strategic thinker and a hands-on leader. Your ability to manage operations across multiple Care Centres ensures alignment with broader organisational goals. You are skilled in identifying inefficiencies and implementing innovative solutions that enhance performance and service delivery. Financial acumen allows you to manage budgets effectively, optimise resources, and support sustainable growth. Your leadership style fosters accountability, engagement, and continuous learning, while your people management skills ensure that recruitment, development, and succession planning are handled with care and precision. You are also a clear communicator, capable of translating strategy into action and maintaining strong connections with your team.

Role Impact

In this role, you are a catalyst for transformation. You are driving a culture where performance is celebrated, leadership is empowered, and people are engaged in meaningful work. Your influence extends beyond operational metrics--you are shaping experiences that matter. By fostering focused learning and strategic talent development, you are building a resilient workforce ready to meet future demands. Your leadership ensures that every Care Centre under your guidance is not only meeting expectations but setting new standards for excellence in patient care and employee experience.

Employment Equity and Diversity

At Ampath, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
