Why this role is different
Most HCA roles keep you on one ward doing one thing. At MEDii you’ll be at the centre of a boutique, specialist-led private clinic – working side by side with NHS consultant-level doctors in cardiology, dermatology, gynaecology and paediatrics – and you’ll use your Mandarin every day to make patients feel understood from the moment they walk in.
New to phlebotomy? We’ll train you. If you have a caring background and the drive to learn, we’ll give you structured, signed-off training in venepuncture and clinical support skills.
What you’ll do
- Welcome patients (many Mandarin-speaking) and guide them through their visit with warmth and clarity
- Take blood samples, swabs and other specimens; label, process and dispatch them accurately to partner labs
- Record vital signs, ECGs and measurements; prepare clinic rooms and chaperone consultations
- Help consultants communicate clearly with Mandarin-speaking patients and families
- Keep patient records accurate and confidential on our digital clinic system
- Maintain the highest standards of infection prevention and control, and a calm, clean, welcoming clinic
What you’ll bring – essential
- Fluent spoken Mandarin and good spoken and written English
- Experience in a caring or patient-facing role (e.g. HCA, care assistant, pharmacy, nursing/medical student, overseas clinical experience)
- Reliable, detail-focused and kind under pressure
- Right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role)
- Willing to undergo an enhanced DBS check
Desirable (not required – we train)
- Phlebotomy certificate or venepuncture experience
- Care Certificate
- Cantonese or other Chinese dialects
