Cardiff & Vale University Health Board are looking to recruit a number of phlebotomists.
We are looking to employ part-time phlebotomists based at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) site. The three part-time positions have hours of 34.5, 20, and 22.5 hours per week, worked over 5 mornings/days. The post holders will be required to work on rotation on a Saturday or Sunday morning and bank holidays. On occasions, the department will require a 7 am service start, with advanced notice given.
As a phlebotomist, you will take blood samples from patients which are examined in a laboratory, and the results can be used to quickly diagnose diseases and conditions. Phlebotomists are an instrumental part of the NHS team, making sure that the diagnosis of illness is done quickly and safely.
You don’t need to have previous experience in this field – we work with you to help you become an excellent care worker.
The post will involve some traveling between sites within the University Health Board such as University Hospital of Wales (UHW), University Hospital Llandough (UHL), Barry Hospital, St Davids, the Emergency Unit, and GP Practices. The ability to safely transport laboratory samples is essential. PLEASE NOTE it is essential that you indicate how you will meet this essential requirement in your application.
