About the role

As a phlebotomist, you will play a vital role in delivering a high quality, patient-centred blood collection service within our Outpatients Department. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team alongside consultants, nurses and administrative colleagues, you will support patients attending a range of specialist clinics and diagnostic appointments, ensuring their experience is seamless, professional and reassuring from arrival through to discharge.

Reporting to the Lead Phlebotomist, you will be responsible for undertaking venepuncture procedures safely and effectively, ensuring accurate specimen collection, labelling and handling in line with laboratory protocols and best practice standards. You will perform venepuncture procedures for both adult and paediatric patients, ensuring safe, accurate specimen collection while delivering compassionate and reassuring care tailored to each individual's needs. You will maintain accurate patient records, support quality assurance initiatives and adhere to infection prevention and control requirements, helping to ensure the highest standards of patient safety and care.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a brand-new healthcare facility, where you will have the chance to help establish and shape a high-performing service from day one. As our organisation continues to grow, you will join a team committed to clinical excellence, innovation and delivering outstanding patient outcomes.

About you

You are an experienced and compassionate Phlebotomist who takes pride in delivering exceptional patient care. With proven venepuncture skills and excellent attention to detail, you are committed to ensuring every patient receives a safe, professional and positive experience.

You will be confident working independently and able to manage your workload effectively, whilst also building strong relationships with colleagues across the wider clinical team. Your calm, empathetic and reassuring approach will enable you to communicate effectively with patients from a wide range of backgrounds, including those who may feel anxious or require additional support.

To be successful in this role, you will have completed formal Phlebotomy training and be able to demonstrate competence in venepuncture across a variety of patient groups, including children and young people. Experience and confidence in performing paediatric phlebotomy is essential, with the ability to provide a calm, reassuring approach that helps minimise anxiety and supports a positive patient experience. Experience using Vacutainer systems and working within an outpatient, diagnostic or hospital setting would be advantageous.

Most importantly, you will share our commitment to delivering outstanding patient care and will be excited by the opportunity to contribute to a new service within a growing and ambitious healthcare organisation.
