This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 6131 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 47% sure that is the right code. NHS Ayrshire & Arran is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3213 (Medical and dental technicians), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask NHS Ayrshire & Arran what the duties actually are.
About the role
Please Note: This post does not meet the eligibility requirements for sponsorship.
Three positions available: x2 positions at 28 hours per week & 1 position at 21 hours per week.
On 1 April 2026, NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) became one national organisation, focused on continuity today and a stronger, more connected service for tomorrow.
As part of this transformation, NSS and NES have joined to form a new organisation: Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland). This new organisation will play a pivotal role in supporting the renewal and ensuring the long-term sustainability of health and care services across Scotland.
About The Organisation
PSD Scotland unites expertise from NES and NSS in a way that will allow us to accelerate national programmes to support the NHS to deliver better care, now and in the future.
We support staff with education and training, provide the tools and data that improve services, and run vital national functions such as procurement, logistics and blood, tissue and cell services.
The Post
As a major division within the NHS National Services Scotland, the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) plays a vital role not only in the health of the people of Scotland but also on an international scale – through our leading position in new product development, biomedical research and donor services. Our goal is to maintain the highest standards to patient care whilst remaining internationally competitive.
The Candidate
We are looking for three Donor Carer Venepuncturists to join our existing community teams who provide a high standard of care to our donors. You should be friendly, enjoy meeting people and be willing to work as part of a team.
As Donor Carer Venepuncturist, you’ll enjoy plenty of variety including caring for donors through the blood donation process, loading/unloading and assembling our community session donation equipment.
Knowledge of health care or other customer focused environments is essential. Standard keyboard skills are essential as are good communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.
The successful candidate will be required to undergo a PVG Scheme Scotland check. Any candidate who have lived/worked overseas for more than 12 months in the preceding 5 years will also be required to provide a criminal record check from the appropriate overseas agency.
