Where Precision Meets Purpose: Medical Lab Technician Opportunity in the Heart of the Piedmont

Overview
Are you the kind of professional who finds meaning in the details — who understands that a single test result can alter the course of someone's life? We're looking for a dedicated Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT / CLT) who brings both scientific rigor and genuine heart to the bench. This is a full-time, first-shift opportunity at a thriving community hospital nestled in one of North Carolina's most storied and dynamic cities. You'll be joining a team that operates with purpose every single day — backed by a comprehensive rewards package built to support your whole life, not just your career.

What You'll Be Doing

• Execute routine and complex laboratory analyses across disciplines including hematology, chemistry, immunology, and more — all within carefully maintained protocols.
• Review results for integrity, identify and resolve instrument discrepancies, and conduct scheduled preventative maintenance and calibration procedures.
• Support specimen collection workflows and prepare samples for downstream testing when the situation calls for it.
• Keep thorough, accurate documentation of all lab activity; provide guidance to incoming staff and students; and actively uphold quality assurance standards throughout the department.
• Champion a safe, compliant lab environment that consistently meets regulatory and accreditation benchmarks.

Education Requirements

• A Bachelor's degree in Medical or Clinical Laboratory Science — or a comparable allied health field of study — combined with active preparation for or completion of ASCP or AMT board certification.

Certification Requirements

• ASCP or AMT Board of Certification in Clinical Laboratory Science required, or attained within twelve months of your start date.
• Ongoing certification maintenance is expected throughout the duration of employment.

Skills That Set You Apart

• Clear, confident communication and the ability to collaborate effectively within fast-moving interdisciplinary care teams.
• Sound independent judgment and the composure to troubleshoot methodically under pressure.
• Exceptional organizational instincts and an unwavering eye for detail — particularly in quality control, documentation, and compliance.

Benefits You'll Actually Use

• Competitive pay structured around your experience level and credentials.
• A full suite of market-aligned benefits: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability coverage.
• Paid time off that begins accruing from day one, with vacation and holiday credit for experienced hires.
• Supported pathways for continuing education and professional advancement.
• A total rewards philosophy centered on your well-being — mind, body, and future.

Every Result Tells a Story

Behind each specimen that crosses your bench is a person waiting for answers. A chemistry panel might reveal an overlooked metabolic shift. A CBC could be the first clue in a complex diagnosis. The work you do in the lab doesn't stay in the lab — it travels down hallways, into patient rooms, and out into the lives of real families. Your precision gives clinicians the confidence to act, and that confidence saves lives.

A Team That Grows Together

This isn't the kind of workplace where you clock in, run your panels, and disappear. The culture here is rooted in genuine collaboration and shared investment in improvement. You'll find yourself in regular team huddles, engaged in competency enrichment sessions, and invited to participate in process improvement initiatives that actually move the needle. Whether you're mentoring a new hire fresh out of a clinical program or proposing a workflow refinement to leadership, your voice will carry weight here.

Winston-Salem, NC: A City With Soul to Spare

Winston-Salem is the kind of place that surprises you — and then keeps surprising you. Known as the City of Arts and Innovation, it pulses with creative energy that you don't typically find tucked into the rolling hills of the Piedmont Triad. World-class galleries, a thriving music scene, and a flourishing culinary landscape make this city feel far larger than its footprint suggests. The historic RJ Reynolds district has given way to an eclectic corridor of craft breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and independent boutiques that draw food lovers and weekend wanderers alike.

Outdoors, the region is endlessly generous. From the winding trails of Hanging Rock State Park to the scenic overlooks along the Blue Ridge Parkway just a short drive west, nature is never far from reach. Weekends here might find you kayaking along the Yadkin River, exploring a vineyard tucked into the Surry County foothills, or cheering on a local team at one of the city's beloved sporting venues. The cost of living remains refreshingly accessible — your salary goes further here than in many comparable markets, which means real breathing room for the lifestyle you've been working toward.

The people of Winston-Salem carry the warmth of a community that genuinely looks out for its own. Neighbors know each other by name, local traditions run deep, and the healthcare community here is woven tightly into the fabric of daily life. When you join this team, you're not just accepting a job — you're becoming part of something that matters to the people around you.

Impact That Extends Beyond the Lab Walls

The ripple effect of excellent laboratory medicine is profound. Faster, more accurate diagnostic results mean shorter hospital stays, better-targeted treatments, and more informed clinical decisions at every level. As an MLT on this team, you'll see your contributions reflected in outcomes — in the metrics, yes, but more meaningfully in the stories. The grateful patient note posted in the break room. The physician who stops by just to say the turnaround times made a difference. These moments are not abstract here — they happen, and they happen often.

This Is Your Moment to Step Forward

Whether you're newly certified and eager to build a career from a strong foundation, or you're a seasoned MLT ready for an environment that truly values your expertise, this opportunity is worth your attention. You'll find mentorship if you need it, autonomy when you've earned it, and a community that will make you glad you made the move.

Ready to Make Your Mark?

If you're driven by more than routine — if you want a role where your scientific skills intersect with real human impact in a city that rewards curiosity and community — then we want to hear from you. Bring your talent, your dedication, and your ambition to a place that's ready to meet you there.

Apply today and take the next step toward a career where every result you produce is part of a larger story worth telling.
