Main duties of the job
As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients stay healthy when they need it most.
Job responsibilities
Phlebotomists have a key role within the Hospital. As a Phlebotomist, you will be trained in meeting patients and collecting important blood samples as part of their care at the main RDUH Exeter site. Previous Phlebotomy experience, although desirable, is not essential as full training and support will be given.
More importantly, we are looking for people who can demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and can use tact and consideration when dealing with patients.
The service relies on using a computerised ordering and collection system; therefore, candidates should be familiar with the use of IT systems at home or in previous employment.
Applicants must also be able to work on a roster including some Saturdays, Sundays, and bank holidays.
