• Detail focused: information in our database must be accurate to help prioritise samples and ensure we do not have to request fresh samples for our technicians to test
• Calm and structured: Every day can be different over the amount of deliveries we receive. Having a process driven mindset to make sure standards are consistent is important
• Comfortable with learning new tools: we are always looking to improve our systems. Learning new processes is important
• Able to make suggestions; all our teams are encouraged to suggest ways to improve speed, efficiency and accuracy. Actively contributing to make Axiom a great place to work is widely encouraged!

Key Responsibilities

• Opening, checking, and recording details of newly received submissions and checking against the associated submission forms
• Transferring information from submission forms to the laboratory information management system (LIMS) , ensuring samples are numbered and racked for distribution across our facility.
• Organising shipment of laboratory consignments to specialist partners, chasing results and tracking inside our system
• Contributing to the Quality system, including performing data entry checks, and seeking and recording client feedback
