A passion for delivering an exceptional donor experience

Comfort working with needles, blood, and biological products

The ability to frequently stand, walk, and bend during your shift

Physical capability to lift items between 9–22.7kg

Flexibility to work a rotating roster, including weekends and afternoon shifts (Thursdays & Fridays are a requirement)
