Job Description

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.



Please see below for detailed job description of the role.



An opportunity has opened in Neurosciences phlebotomy. We're looking for someone self-motivated, able to manage their own workload and responsive to urgent requests from nursing and medical teams.



Strong communication skills and the ability to build professional relationships within the care group are essential. Experience in venesection and cannulation is desirable but not essential as training will be provided.



The role is 2 days a week (6 hours/day), with shifts across Monday to Sunday.



University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.



Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.



We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.



At UHS we're committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.



At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We're committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.

What you'll do:

A phlebotomist's role is to provide a high-quality phlebotomy and cannulation service that offers the best possible standards of patient care to inpatients and any other area requiring venesection/cannulation services.



You will assist in the provision of individualised care, under the supervision of a qualified nurse and others in the health care professional team.

What we're looking for:

You will need to be self-motivated, dynamic, with a passion for taking blood samples while delivering high quality patient care.

You will have a keen eye for attention to detail and the ability to prioritise your own workload, as well as a keen learner that embraces change whilst maintaining high standards.
