Phlebotomist
Job Type
Full-time
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
