More detail about the role

The Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust provides acute healthcare services to a population of approximately half a million people living in Mid Devon, East Devon, and the surrounding area. The Trust also provides a range of specialist services, across the UK and Europe. Set in the beautiful city of Exeter in the midst of glorious Devon countryside and close to the Southwest coastline, with its stunning beaches.

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.

Working Pattern: Options of 20 hours per week substantive post and bank hours are available.

Looking after you is important to us.

We strive to help our staff create a healthy work-life balance through flexible working schemes and our family friendly policies.

You'll benefit from access to our own comprehensive occupational health services, including counselling, onsite wellbeing activities and groups.

Salary is not the only financial benefit
