Lab Assistant Sample Processing Day Shift Temp Position

1 month ago

Louisville, Kentucky, United States IDEXX Full time

As a temporary Laboratory Assistant at IDEXX, you will be assisting with some of the many tasks vital to the running of our network of Reference Labs. We receive thousands of clinical samples (blood, urine, fecal samples) every day from Veterinary Clinics, and we run tests on those samples to help veterinarians identify what might be wrong with someone's pet. In this role, you will be helping to sort, tag, and prepare veterinary samples for testing. Every sample you help to move along quickly and accurately in the process means we are one step closer to finding out how or why the pet might be sick. Thanks to you, someone's very beloved pet will get the treatment plan they need - how great is that?

Our reference laboratories make it possible for our customers to discover more with our unrelenting commitment to innovation, personalized support, guidance, and expertise, while providing the most complete and advanced menu of diagnostic tests along with technology and tools.

In This Role:

  • Currently our greatest need is in our Sample Management / Specimen Accessioning Department. This is the area of the lab where the samples first arrive.
  • You might be unbagging, sorting, tagging, or moving clinical samples around the laboratory.
  • You may be restocking supplies, such as chemicals or slide trays.
  • You could be helping to load analyzers with slides of samples.
  • You might be assisting with inventory counts.
  • You will be asked to help in out many ways – and your help is needed

Pay & Schedule:

  • Hourly rates targeting: $ 18.25 / HR
  • This is a long-term temporary position where you will be working 40 hours/week.
  • Schedule is: Tuesday-Saturday
  • Hours are: 6:30am-3:00pm (flexibility with work hours is a PLUS)
  • Sometimes during our busy season, we ask workers if they would be able to work overtime, and stay until the work is complete.
  • The shifts and hours may vary slightly depending on business needs.
  • Reliable and dependable attendance is an essential function of the position.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

  • You are able and willing to work 40 hours / week on the day shift.
  • You are reliable – attendance is an essential function of the position.
  • Data entry skills are a big plus.
  • A willingness to work with and around veterinary samples, including blood, urine, fecal and biopsies.
  • You are excited to work in a fast-paced, high volume busy work environment. You are able to sit or stand for long periods of time; you do not mind being on your feet and moving throughout the lab as needed.
  • You can read and interpret documents such as safety rules, standard operating procedures (SOPs), material safety data sheets (MSDSs), operating and maintenance instructions, government rules, and technical procedures.
  • You must have a demonstrated ability to prioritize and multi-task.
  • You possess strong initiative and follow through with outstanding attention to detail.
  • You are able to work independently and as a team contributor.
  • You have demonstrated a high level of customer service.
  • Able to meet the physical requirements that go with working in a lab – standing and sitting for extended periods of time, use of hands, fingers, and arms to handle tools and controls, occasional need to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl, lift up to 25lb, and specific vision ability – close, color, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.
  • This is a laboratory, so there is potential exposure to biohazards, agents known to cause zoonotic diseases, and hazardous chemicals.
