In addition to phlebotomy, the role includes conducting vital sign assessments, administering vaccinations (if appropriately trained), and participating in health promotion activities. The successful candidate must be a car driver with access to a vehicle, as some travel between sites is required. Administrative tasks, stock control, and maintaining clean, well-stocked clinical rooms are also part of the responsibilities.
We have an opportunity for a part-time phlebotomist to join our Medical Practice. This is a unique opportunity to be part of, and contribute to, the development of a new and innovative primary care organisation. We are seeking a trained and experienced phlebotomist to undertake phlebotomy clinics as part of our clinical team.
We will require you to work across both surgery sites, Alderley Edge Medical Practice and Prestbury Medical Practice when required to undertake clinics. As such being a car driver with access to your own vehicle is essential (mileage will be paid).
You will work independently as part of the wider team, in accordance with specific practice guidelines and protocols with support from a GP on site during clinics, should this be required.
