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.

Requirements
- Be comfortable with needles and blood/biological materials
- 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
