The Phlebotomy Home Visiting Team

Vacancy Announcement

Role Requirements
The role requires you to visit people in their own homes to undertake blood tests and other observations such as blood pressure and weight measurement.
The team uses electronic records to access and input information, and having skills in using computer systems would be an advantage, although training will be provided in the current health system in use.

Therefore, it is essential that applicants have the ability to travel regularly across the district to meet the needs and demands of the service.
