Job Opportunity: Nursing Assistant
">
This role offers the chance to make a positive impact in the community by supporting donors through their donation process. As a Nursing Assistant, you will be part of a dedicated team that works together to achieve collection targets.
* The role involves greeting and interviewing potential donors to understand their eligibility and suitability to donate.
* You will also be responsible for creating 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.
No prior experience in blood collection is needed as our paid and flexible self-paced training program has a balance between on-the-job practice, and online class schedules to ensure that you are well supported.
Besides having a real passion to deliver an exceptional donor experience, you'll need to be able to:
* Be comfortable with needles and blood/biological materials.
* Be able to work up to 76 hours and 10 shifts over the fortnight to support Donor Centre operational requirements on the occasional basis.
* Occasionally lift between 9-22.7kgs.
* 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.
