Why this role exists

Half of our patients arrive anxious about needles after a bad experience. A rushed draw sets the tone for the whole appointment, so we slowed the slots down and hired for manner as much as technique.

Who you would be looking after

Women attending for hormone profiles, thyroid panels, iron studies, metabolic screening and fertility bloods.

A day in the diary

• Fifteen minute appointments, roughly twenty a day
• Cycle-timed hormone draws, which need accurate scheduling
• Sample handling, labelling and courier hand-off
• Quiet room use for needle-phobic patients, booked as double slots

What the work involves

• Take venous samples accurately and comfortably, first time where possible
• Manage cycle-timed testing so results are interpretable
• Handle, label and dispatch samples to laboratory standards
• Support needle-anxious women with a slower, explained process

What we ask for

• Phlebotomy certificate and at least a year of practice
• Care with labelling and sample integrity
• A calm, unhurried manner
• Enhanced DBS, which we can arrange

What you get

• No nights, weekends or on-call
• Funded venepuncture updates and competency reviews
• Pension and 33 days leave including bank holidays

What this pays, and why

NHS band 3 phlebotomy runs roughly £24,000 to £26,000, with London weighting on top. Our band sits above because slots are longer and cycle-timed testing needs more judgement.
