Phlebotomist

Overview

The phlebotomy team are staff members of Pathology at Royal Glamorgan Hospital. As a phlebotomist you will join the rota and be required to collect blood samples, providing a service to the wards and outpatient department areas. A robust training programme will be given to ensure the appropriate skill and knowledge is achieved, enabling high quality samples for analysis by Haematology, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Blood Bank.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board Clinical Haematology Department. The pathology directorate is looking to appoint a phlebotomist to the existing team. The post holder will be based at Royal Glamorgan Hospital on a permanent post of 15 hour contract set over 5 days, with the ability to provide cover on all sites within CTMUHB as required.

The post holder will work closely with the phlebotomy supervisor and will be expected to perform phlebotomy duties in the outpatient setting and ward areas within CTMUHB, working both in a team and independently to deliver a safe and efficient phlebotomy service. The candidate should be enthusiastic, adaptable, with good communication skills and a background in patient care. Venepuncture skills are desirable but not essential.
