Join our Talent Pool
Be ready to step into exciting laboratory opportunities as they arise over the next 12 months. This talent pool connects skilled and motivated Technical Officers with upcoming roles, offering flexibility, career progression and the chance to work at the forefront of genetics and molecular diagnostics.
About the role
As a Technical Officer (TGO1 / TGO2), you'll be part of a welcoming, collaborative laboratory team that plays a vital role in supporting patient care across South Australia. Each day offers variety, purpose and hands‐on work, as you apply your technical skills, practical knowledge and attention to detail to pathology testing and laboratory activities. Working independently or alongside experienced colleagues, you'll help deliver accurate, timely results while continuing to build your capability through shared learning and on‐the‐job experience within SA Pathology.
At the TGO2 level, this role provides the opportunity to step into greater responsibility, applying technical judgement, contributing to service improvements and leading minor technical projects. You'll work closely with scientific, medical and operational teams, as well as external partners, to solve problems, clarify testing requirements and keep laboratory services running smoothly. If you enjoy teamwork, take pride in quality outcomes and want a role where your work genuinely matters, this is an opportunity to grow, connect and make a meaningful difference every day.
About you
You're a motivated and reliable Technical Officer who enjoys working in a laboratory environment and takes pride in producing high‐quality, accurate work. Roles are available at TGO1 and TGO2 level, with appointment made based on your qualifications, experience and demonstrated capability.
* Diploma or Advanced Diploma in a recognised laboratory or technical qualification (or equivalent), with developing experience for TGO1 or more advanced capability for TGO2
* Laboratory experience suited to your level, with sound knowledge of laboratory principles, quality systems and Work Health and Safety practices
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a positive, customer‐focused approach to teamwork and service delivery
* Well organised and adaptable, able to prioritise workloads with limited supervision and, at TGO2 level, apply technical judgement, support others and contribute to projects or service improvements
What we offer
* Attractive salary packaging available
* Strong community‐minded culture and values providing world‐class care to South Australians
* Opportunity for movement across the SA Health system: There are always opportunities for you to develop your skills and your career at one of our many metropolitan or regional sites
