Exciting Opportunity for a Phlebotomist

Requirements
- Excellent communication skills
- Hand-to-eye coordination
- Flexibility and patient focus
- Basic computer skills
This is a demanding physical role which involves standing, bending, walking, and pushing phlebotomy trolleys for the length of the shift.
As you will be working in the community, as well as in a hospital setting, access to a car or alternative means of transport is an essential requirement for this position.
Working flexibly over a 7-day rota, you will have shifts covering early morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and Bank Holiday shifts on rotation.
Responsibilities
- Obtain blood samples from patients/donors to a standard fit for laboratory testing ensuring minimum distress or discomfort is caused to the patient/donor during the blood collection process.
- Perform and undertake routine requests in an outpatient and ward setting for blood specimen collections and work with minimal supervision.
- Identify, select, and use suitable/appropriate equipment for the specimen collection using personal judgmental skills.
- Collect and record the correct patient/donor information or data at the time of the sample collection and within full view of the patient/donor. This task calls for long periods of concentration that can be frequently interrupted.
- Learn to manage contingencies that arise during the blood collection process within own limitations and seek assistance when necessary.
- Manual analysis of urine prior to a specific blood test being performed (e.g., Glucose/Lactose Tolerance Tests).
