The successful candidate will already have strong experience working as a Healthcare Assistant within general practice or a comparable primary care environment and will be able to bring an established range of HCA clinical skills to the role. Phlebotomy will be a significant element of the post, particularly providing planned phlebotomy visits to patients who are housebound or otherwise unable to access practice-based services. The post is intended for an individual who is confident in their existing competencies and able to contribute effectively to service delivery from an early stage.
