Job description

The role of the phlebotomist is to provide a support service to the Long Term Condition (LTC) Services. To ensure patients are able to access timely appointments for venepuncture in order for the LTC service teams to be able to appropriately manage treatment and conditions.

This role is primarily based in community clinics across the county as well as providing domiciliary phlebotomy in appropriate patient’s homes (housebound).

Working as a lone practitioner in the community in a variety of sites and patient's homes.

• To obtain high quality blood samples from patients in the home environment
• Responsible for planning day to day work tasks and activities within an occasionally unpredictable environment
• To work independently and as part of a team.
• Demonstrate an awareness of physical, psycho-social, cultural and environmental needs of patients and their family/carer when in patient's homes

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
