Lab Technician

Inviting passionate Laboratory Technicians to serve vulnerable communities in Bengaluru.

We at Azim Premji Foundation are working to improve the health of the underserved communities living in urban settlements of Bengaluru.

Since 2022, we have started an integrated community health program across 5 locations in Bengaluru. At each location, we have our Health Centre and a team of Community Health Workers managed by a local not-for-profit organisation.

• The Health Centres (with a team of doctors, nurses, a pharmacist and a lab technician) provide primary health services to the patients targeting a cluster of urban settlements in its neighborhood
• The Community Health Workers support the patients and the target community at large on health awareness and health education, community-level screening, follow-ups etc. in coordination with the Health Centre teams
• The team also collaborates with the local public health systems to facilitate the necessary services and benefits to the communities

• Conduct tests (Biochemistry, Hematology, Serology etc.) at the Lab in the Health Centre
• Ensure quality control checks and calibration is done regularly
• Reporting, documentation and highlighting any anomalies

This is challenging but tremendously fulfilling work. You will be making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it the most.

To succeed in this role (Lab Technician), we expect you to have:

• An unwavering commitment to serve the communities, and the resilience to work full-time (6 days a week, Mon-Sat) in an evolving environment
• Diploma in Medical Lab Technology (DMLT). Registered with Karnataka State Para Medical Board (KSPMB)
