Description
The role includes working across an integrated service in contraception and sexual health across Bournemouth & Poole.

We offer a wide range of clinics and sexual health support such as Genito-Urinary Medicine/STI screening, HIV & PreP clinics, LGBTQ+ support clinics, contraceptive clinics, Dorset Working Women's Project, Early Medical Termination Service and Target Outreach Support for young people and schools.


The service is open Monday - Friday between 8am & 8pm and the post holder will be required to work various shifts between these times, with some degree of flexibility.

Previous HCA experience within the NHS is essential along with a competency in venepuncture.


The main duties will include chaperoning nurses and doctors performing STI screening, undertaking microscopy to diagnose certain infections, chaperoning coil fits & taking patients' blood as part of STI screening and HIV care along with other duties required by service.


Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of.

Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.


At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services.

We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it's one of the reasons the CQC rated us 'outstanding' in 2019.

It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference.

Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.
