If you would like to join a friendly, progressive, innovative team and play a part in the transformation of pathology services across South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw we would like to hear from you.
As an integral part of the Phlebotomy team, you will have a key role in supporting the SYB patients by providing a capillary blood sample collection service predominantly based at Sheffield Children's Hospital as well as the Jessop Wing of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The postholder will also assist with specimen reception in the laboratory and may use of Point of Care Testing devices where appropriate. It is an exciting time to join the SYBP Phlebotomy team as we equip our teams and provide further training opportunities to gain additional skill sets to enhance and facilitate patient care.
The aim of the SYBP Phlebotomy services is to provide parity of phlebotomy duties and responsibilities on all sites where phlebotomy services are under the remit of the laboratory. As such, all members of Phlebotomy staff will be trained to a standard that grants a 'training passport' so that they can be deployed on any SYBP site to perform all duties.
You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
STHFT operates with a budget of £1.2 bn, has a workforce of over 18,500 employees, covers five hospital sites, provides care from over forty community settings, and has an excellent reputation for research.
As an organisation we value and respect our staff and the community we serve. We provide excellent staff benefits; this includes commitment to professional development but also many initiatives to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
The South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Pathology Partnership are invested in training, developing, and supporting staff in all aspects including academic courses from certificates of achievement, registration, specialist and higher specialist IBMS portfolios, apprenticeships and leadership and management qualifications.
We pride ourselves in enabling opportunity across all our sites to develop staff and provide a strong and sustained service for the future.
