Looking for a flexible healthcare role where you can use your clinical and venepuncture skills while making a genuine difference?

As a Biomedical Fieldworker, you'll visit participants in their homes to collect health information and blood samples as part of nationally recognised health surveys.
All appointments are pre-arranged. Visit length will vary by study, with newer studies planned for 2027 expected to test an average visit length of around 30 minutes. You will work independently, meet a variety of people in your local community and manage your own diary within set guidelines and deadlines.

- Experience within a healthcare or clinical setting
- Registered healthcare professional status is advantageous but not essential
- Proven venepuncture experience within the last 24 months
- Evidence of current Hepatitis B immunity
- A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
- Willingness to travel across your assigned work area, typically within around 60 to 90 minutes of the advertised location
