Job Description

We are excited to share an opening for a Health Care Assistant/Phlebotomist within the Community Treatment and Care (CTAC) service, part of Forth Valley Community Nursing Services at NHS Forth Valley.

Recent developments in primary care have created new opportunities for Health Care Assistants to join this growing team, delivering essential treatment and support in community settings. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with General Practice teams and Community Nursing staff to provide high-quality patient care.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll join a dedicated team and perform daily delegated tasks, primarily focusing on:

• Phlebotomy (blood sampling)
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Other routine clinical support activities

What We’re Looking For

To thrive in this position, you should demonstrate:

• Strong communication skills
• Flexibility and adaptability
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team while also showing initiative
• A genuine enthusiasm for learning and developing new skills

Desirable attributes include solid IT skills, though full training will be provided. NHS Forth Valley actively promotes lifelong learning and professional growth.

This community-based role requires the ability and willingness to travel across the service area as needed.

Additional Information

• PVG Membership: The successful candidate must join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme, which ensures suitability for roles involving vulnerable individuals. For more details on the scheme, visit the official Disclosure Scotland website: https://www.mygov.scot/pvg-scheme.
• Working Hours Change: Starting 1 April 2026, the standard full-time working week for Agenda for Change staff in NHS Scotland will reduce from 37 to 36 hours (with part-time hours adjusted pro-rata). This comes with a corresponding increase in the hourly rate, ensuring no impact on overall pay.
• Visa and Sponsorship for International Applicants: If you require a visa to work in the UK, please review the eligibility for the Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visa routes carefully. NHS Forth Valley may offer sponsorship for qualifying roles that meet salary thresholds and other criteria, but this is evaluated individually after interview and during pre-employment checks—it’s not guaranteed.
