As a Quality Consultant, you will play a pivotal role in shaping a proactive culture of quality and safety across our organisation. This is more than a compliance role, it is about partnering with business units to embed continuous audit readiness strategies that empower teams to excel. You will champion high standards, inspire confidence, and ensure that quality and safety are not just processes, but part of how we work every day.

To succeed in this role, you need to bring a strong foundation of expertise. A Medical Technologist qualification and registration with the HPCSA are essential, along with formal training in ISO 15189 requirements for medical laboratories. You must also be a qualified auditor with internal auditing experience. These credentials will enable you to provide trusted guidance and ensure our practices meet the highest standards.

Your experience will speak volumes. You should have at least five years of hands‑on work as a Technologist in a laboratory setting, complemented by a year of quality control experience. Exposure to Quality Management Systems, internal auditing, and accreditation processes is key, as is experience in implementing safety standards. This background will allow you to confidently lead initiatives that strengthen our quality framework.

This role calls for a blend of technical expertise and people‑centred skills. You need a deep understanding of ISO 15189 and QMS principles, as well as SHE practices. Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities are essential, along with the foresight to anticipate challenges and implement solutions proactively. Your ability to train and facilitate workshops will help build capability across the organisation, while proficiency in tools such as MS Office, Adobe Professional, and Google Drive will support your day‑to‑day work.

Just as important are your interpersonal and communication skills – you will be working closely with diverse teams and stakeholders to create meaningful impact.

As a Quality Consultant, your influence will extend far beyond audits and compliance. You will be a trusted advisor, helping leaders take accountability and empowering teams to thrive in a high‑performance culture. By creating engaging learning experiences and fostering collaboration, you will ignite employee engagement and build capabilities for the future. Your work will attract and retain the right talent, strengthen succession planning, and ensure that quality and safety remain at the heart of everything we do.

This is your opportunity to make a lasting difference – not just in processes, but in people.

At Ampath, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. In line with our Employment Equity goals, we actively encourage applications from individuals across all backgrounds, especially those from underrepresented groups. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation and excellence in healthcare, and we are proud to create a space where everyone can thrive.
