Senior Phlebotomist / Phlebotomy Trainer

Position Summary

AllCare is seeking an experienced Senior Phlebotomist to lead training for our phlebotomy team. This role is primarily focused on developing, standardizing, and delivering hands-on training across our facilities in Southern California — with phlebotomy skills as the foundation, not the day-to-day focus. This position is ideal for a seasoned professional who wants to shift from purely clinical work into a leadership and quality-oversight role.

Key Responsibilities

• Travel to facilities across Southern California to train team members on-site and lead live-draw shadowing sessions
• Train new and existing phlebotomists on proper technique, safety, and compliance standards
• Develop and maintain training materials, curricula, and onboarding procedures for the phlebotomy team
• Conduct competency checks and ongoing quality audits of team members' draw technique and documentation
• Serve as a point of escalation for difficult draws or complex patient situations
• Ensure team-wide adherence to infection control, specimen labeling, chain of custody, and HIPAA standards
• Provide feedback and coaching to team members, partnering with management on performance concerns
• Perform blood draws and specimen collection as needed to demonstrate technique and maintain clinical proficiency

Requirements

• Active California Phlebotomy Technician license (CPT1 or CPT2)
• Minimum 8+ years of phlebotomy experience, including experience training or mentoring others
• BLS certification (current)
• Valid driver's license
• Strong communication and leadership/training skills
• Comfortable working with diverse patient populations, including pediatric, geriatric, and difficult-draw patients
• Experience with EHR documentation and specimen tracking systems
• Willing and able to travel to multiple facility locations across Southern California
