About the role
Step into a rewarding role as a Nursing Assistant where you will bring excellent customer‐facing skills and a genuine passion to deliver an exceptional service to our donors.
You will play a key role in supporting our donors through their donation process. Full training is provided, so along with the above, all you need is the curiosity and motivation to learn the process of collecting blood and biological product.
* Greet and interview potential donors to understand their eligibility and suitability to donate
* Create a donor experience they'll love and want to come back. Complete routine blood pressure and haemoglobin tests
* Set up machines and collections equipment
* Insert and remove needles safely to collect whole blood, plasma, and platelets
* Monitor donors post‐donation and assist them with rebooking their next donation
* Work collaboratively to achieve collection targets
No previous blood collection experience is required. Our paid training program blends hands‐on practice with online learning to set you up for success. What's essential is your passion for delivering an exceptional donor experience, supported by proven customer‐facing experience that you can draw on in every interaction.
Your skills in action will include:
* Be comfortable with needles and blood/biological materials
* Occasionally lift between 9‐22.7 kg
* Support and foster a fantastic team culture
* Frequently stand, walk and bend to set up and pack down machines and blood products
* Be flexible to work varied shifts on a fortnightly rotating roster from Monday to Sunday, including weekends and afternoon shifts
* Hold a full driver's licence and have access to your own vehicle
Please note: This role requires travel, approximately once every month, when working on the Donor Mobile Unit. This includes regional travel by car and occasionally by plane, with overnight stays of up to four nights.
