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.

- 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:

- Applying your customer service experience to create positive, welcoming interactions with donors
- Being comfortable working with needles, blood and biological materials
- Occasionally lifting between 9–22.7kg
- Supporting and fostering a fantastic team culture
