Phlebotomist

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team of phlebotomists working for the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

Our phlebotomy team deliver a high-quality patient focused blood taking service in a wide range of settings across Calderdale, and Kirklees. This includes taking blood in our two hospitals, GP surgeries, out-patient services, and patients’ homes. With the advent of the new Community Diagnostic Centres, we are looking to expand our team of phlebotomists. We operate a seven-day service, including bank holidays, between the hours of 08:00 and 20:00, and the post holder will be required to work across all these times to deliver the service.

We are looking for individuals who must have a good level of education along with a determination to deliver high quality compassionate care to our patients. Good IT skills are essential to this post, along with experience of working in a health care setting or customer service focused role are essential. Previous experience in venepuncture would be desirable, but is not essential as we will deliver full training to the right calibre of person.

This post will require the member of staff to travel between the hospital sites, community clinics and home visits. Therefore, it is essential that the applicant has a driving license and access to a suitable vehicle. Remuneration for mileage is provided.

However, the service requirements are continually changing to meet with needs of the patients, so flexibility is a key component
