Are you looking for an exciting new challenge in a place to take your career to the next level? Would you like to join a friendly, progressive, innovative team and play a part in the transformation of pathology services across South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw? Do you want to work in a fully UKAS-accredited, modern laboratory environment where you can make a difference?

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Laboratory Medicine - Phlebotomy Outpatients Department at The Royal Hallamshire Hospital, part of the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Pathology (SYBP) Partnership, for a band 3 SYBP Phlebotomist.

Main duties of the job

As an integral part of the Phlebotomy team, you will have a key role in supporting the SYB patients by providing a blood sample collection service predominantly based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (RHH).

The department provides a walk‑in service for patients to have their bloods taken by our highly skilled Phlebotomists via venepuncture and also acts a specimen reception for samples to be transferred to the RHH laboratories.

The department also provides an outreach community phlebotomy service to housebound patients and also utilises Point of Care Testing devices where appropriate. It is an exciting time to join the SYBP Phlebotomy team as we equip our teams and provide further training opportunities to gain additional skill sets to enhance and facilitate patient care.

The aim of the SYBP Phlebotomy services is to provide parity of phlebotomy duties and responsibilities on all sites where phlebotomy services are under the remit of the laboratory. As such, all members of Phlebotomy staff will be trained to a standard that grants a ‘training passport’ so that they can be deployed on any SYBP site to perform all duties.
