**About the opportunity**

NSW Health Pathology is seeking full-time Phlebotomists to join the blood collection team at Lismore Base Hospital. As a blood collector, you will play a key role at the heart of our pathology laboratory, contributing to one of the largest regional labs in the state, which serves both Lismore Base Hospital and the Northern Rivers community.

Working closely with our Pre-Analytical Team, you will also have the opportunity to learn data entry and other key skills to assist in processing specimens in preparation for laboratory departments to complete their testing.

Lismore Base Hospital is a regional referral hospital providing a wide range of health services to residents of Northern NSW. These services include a state-of-the-art Operating Theatre Suite, Intensive Care/Cardiac Care Unit, General Medical and Surgical Wards, Women’s Care Unit, Paediatric Unit, Renal Unit, and Emergency Department.

The region of Lismore and the Richmond Valley, on the far North Coast of NSW, offers something for everyone—from nature lovers to foodies. Lismore is just a short drive from Byron Bay, Lennox Head, and Ballina to the east, and the quirky village of Nimbin to the west. The local area boasts everything from magnificent national parks and waterfalls to rainforest walks and some of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast of Australia. So, if you’re looking for a lifestyle, sea, or tree change, this could be the perfect job for you.

**What we can offer you**
- This position is eligible for a Rural Health Workforce Incentive Scheme allowance of up to $5,000 plus super per annum in addition to award entitlements
- Accrued Days Off in addition to Annual Leave
- Generous salary packaging options and other fringe benefits
- Corporate wellbeing programs, including the Fitness Passport
- Learning and development opportunities, including in-house training with RTO My Health Learning

**What you'll be doing**

You will be required to perform essential blood collections services in a range of outpatient settings, community clinics, home collections and throughout the wards of the hospital. You will also be involved in a range of laboratory support and specimen reception activities, to deliver a truly patient focused service.
- Certificate III in Pathology Collections and/or previous experience in venepuncture or a demonstrated ability to learn all aspects of the clinical environment relevant to the Department.
- Demonstrated customer service experience and skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with patients, carers, and clinical staff in an environment transferrable to this role.
- Demonstrated problem solving and trouble shooting skills, with the ability to resolve general issues within the clinical environment including specimen preparation and transport ensuring viability of the specimens.
- Familiarity with pathology terminology and requirements and the willingness to learn a broad scope of collection, data entry and specimen preparation practices including paediatric and neonate blood collections.
- Unencumbered Class C Driver's License (valid in NSW) or the capacity to travel to any site for a shift as required.
- Must be willing to participate in shift type work including weekend work as required and travel to any site or location within the operational area as requested.
