Phlebotomist

Job description

Description
About the role
We’re looking for a skilled phlebotomist to help us build on-site lab services at our Fredericksburg clinic. You’ll be the go-to person for blood draws and specimen handling, and you’ll grow with us as we bring more testing in-house. This is a hands-on role for someone who likes variety. When you’re not drawing, you’ll support the lab and clinic team with testing, supplies and administrative work.
What you’ll do
• Draw blood from patients of all ages, including children, using venipuncture and fingersticks
• Collect and process specimens: labeling, centrifuging, storing and packaging for outside labs
• Run simple in-clinic tests after training, such as rapid strep, flu and COVID tests, urine dipsticks, fingerstick A1C and glucose
• Keep quality control logs, temperature logs and testing records accurate and up to date
• Track specimens, follow up on rejected samples, and make sure results reach the care team
• Order and stock lab supplies, and check test kits for expiration dates
• Keep the lab area clean and safe, following infection control and biohazard procedures
• Support the clinic team with administrative tasks such as scheduling, phone calls, and filing or scanning documents
• Make patients feel comfortable, especially anyone who is nervous about needles

Requirements
What we’re looking for
• High school diploma or GED
• Phlebotomy certification (such as NHA CPT or ASCP PBT) preferred, or completion of a phlebotomy training program
• At least 1 year of phlebotomy experience preferred.
• Basic computer skills.
• Experience with electronic health records.
• BLS (CPR) certification, or willingness to obtain it within 90 days of hire
• Strong attention to detail, a calm and caring manner with patients, and comfort switching between tasks
