Job Location: Aurora office/laboratory(s) with some offsite courier/delivery activities
Job Description:
Are you someone that would benefit by gaining experience working in a laboratory environment? Would you enjoy firsthand tissue processing training? Do you have the desire to learn and acquire more medical knowledge like how to review and work with medical charts? How about being a part of a non-profit organization that makes it possible for recipients to receive corneal transplants that restore sight? If this sounds like you, the Processing Support Technician position might be your perfect fit! Jerry was an all-star high school athlete who was on his way to college on a full ride scholarship. He was projected to be a shoe in for the major leagues. But more than anything, he was the most exceptionally kind and generous guy you would ever meet. During a freak accident, Jerry lost his life. Jerry’s best friend since elementary school received a kidney transplant and Jerry always knew he wanted to be a donor. It takes a dedicated team working with excellence to advocate for Jerry and honor his wishes. You could play an important, meaningful, and supportive role to make that happen.
As a Processing Support Technician, you will need to be a collaborator with strong meticulous skills who prefers procedure driven routine oriented duties and work environment. If you have strengths that involve procedural awareness and anticipating next steps for completion, you may be the perfect fit. The Processing Support Technician is responsible for tissue processing and processing facility support activities. This includes but is not limited to data entry, compiling, and organizing donor records, transporting tissue to surgery centers, utilizing the principles of aseptic/sterile techniques, decontaminating and processing reusable surgical instruments for steam sterilization, and performing inventory functions. The technician position is learned through extensive on-the-job training. This is not a traditional clinical lab tech position. You will also need to be dependable and professional in appearance and behavior. Technicians must have a valid driver’s license, current insurance, and access to a personal vehicle because this position requires driving to perform job duties. On-call time or sick call coverage may be required. Together the Processing and Distribution Supervisor and other staff provide training and ongoing education. The RMLEB Standard Operating Procedures must be followed, and technicians must routinely revisit RMLEB training programs to include reading updated policies/procedures as well as demonstrating proficiency.
