Job overview

Are you passionate about delivering high-quality patient care in the community? We are looking for a motivated and compassionate Community Phlebotomist to join our dedicated Adult Community Nursing Service across Guildford and Waverley.

In this rewarding role, you will be a valued member of the Community Nursing Team, delivering essential venepuncture services directly to patients in their own homes and care settings. You’ll play a vital role in supporting patient independence, comfort, and continuity of care—bringing clinical expertise right to the heart of the community.

This is a part-time position, with flexible working opportunities across Monday to Sunday, between 8am and 8pm, offering a great work-life balance.

At Procare, we are committed to your professional growth and wellbeing. You will benefit from Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions, access to the NHS Pension Scheme, and a strong culture of learning and development. In addition, you will have access to the extensive staff benefits, training, and career development opportunities provided by the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust—helping you to reach your full potential.

Procare Community Services are not a UKVI sponsoring organisation, so all candidates are required to have their own independent right to work

Main duties of the job

In this role, you will work closely with a Registered Nurse within the community setting, delivering high-quality nursing support to patients in the comfort of their own homes. As a trusted and autonomous practitioner, you will carry out a wide range of venepuncture procedures, demonstrating clinical expertise while working independently under the guidance of the District Nurse.

You will play a key role in ensuring safe, effective care by carrying out venepuncture on adult patients in line with established policies, protocols, and Standard Operating Procedures. Your attention to detail and commitment to best practice will contribute to consistently high standards of patient care across the service.

As an experienced practitioner, you will also act as a role model for phlebotomy, supporting and guiding newly appointed Community Nursing staff and Healthcare Assistants in developing their skills and confidence.

 

Working for our organisation

The Procare Chief Operating Officer is a Nurse by background, who has a real passion for all aspects of Community working. Our board is clinically led with a Director of Nursing and GPs who have vast community experience, ensuring that Procare has the expertise and knowledge base needed to develop sustainable integrated services.

With a strong emphasis on high-quality care, patient safety, and a positive patient and carer experience as the core of our strategy, our goal is to ensure excellent care for our local community. We aim to achieve this by creating a supportive and highly skilled workforce, making Procare a great place to work.

We are an innovative, ambitious, friendly, and supportive local team. We take pride in our clinically led and flat management structure, which ensures transparent leadership from all directors. We are in search of an individual with the requisite skills and attributes, someone who is pragmatic and solution-focused, and who desires to be a part of our local Community Nursing Services.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We are looking for someone who is a calm, compassionate, and confident communicator, with a professional and patient-focused approach. You will be organised and able to work methodically, balancing independent working with being an active and supportive team member.

This role requires confidence in using digital systems to accurately record patient visits, as well as the ability to travel independently to patients’ homes across Guildford and Waverley. A willingness to further develop your skills, including undertaking the Healthcare Assistant Certificate where required, is essential.
