Job Description
Working as a Mortuary Technician is not just a technical job—it’s a role built on respect, responsibility, and humanity. In this position, you will be part of a hospital team that ensures every individual is treated with dignity even after life has passed. Your work directly supports families during some of their most emotional moments, making your role both meaningful and impactful.
As a Mortuary Technician, you will be responsible for receiving deceased patients from different hospital departments while carefully verifying identification details to ensure accuracy and maintain proper documentation. You will handle the chain of custody process with precision, ensuring that all procedures follow strict hospital and Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines.
A key part of your role involves maintaining the mortuary facility, including monitoring temperature and humidity levels in cold storage units to ensure safe preservation conditions. You will also carry out cleaning and disinfection procedures using hospital-approved methods, keeping the environment hygienic and safe at all times.
In certain situations, you may assist with high-risk infectious cases, following strict safety protocols such as proper body handling, sealing, and labeling. You may also coordinate with authorities in forensic cases, helping with identification and documentation when required.
Beyond the technical duties, this role requires compassion and professionalism when interacting with families during body release procedures. Your calm and respectful approach will help provide comfort during difficult times.
This is an ideal opportunity for individuals who are detail-oriented, emotionally strong, and committed to maintaining high standards of care in a healthcare environment.
