DS Registered Nurse

Step into a rewarding role that directly impacts life-changing donations.

Working with our generous donors, enjoy a more predictable, people-focused environment, with less hospital pressure and the chance to be a key part of the community.

As a Registered Nurse, you will bring your fantastic customer-facing skills and passion to deliver an exceptional service, while working together to ensure Australia’s supply of blood products.

A day in the centre could see you:

• Greet and interview potential donors to understand their eligibility and suitability to donate

• Provide clinical oversight and guide other team members in the blood collection process

• 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

• Manage adverse donor reactions by providing instructions and physical assistance

• Monitor donors post-donation and assist them to rebook for their next donation

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:

• Occasionally lift between 9-22.7kgs

• Frequently stand, walk and bend to set up and pack down machines and blood products

• Utilise your expertise having completed a Bachelor of Nursing (or equivalent) and hold a current AHPRA registration

• Be flexible to work varied shifts on a fortnightly rotating roster from Monday to Sunday, including weekends, mornings and afternoon shifts

• Be available to work shifts from and between 06:15am and 08:00pm

• Have your own vehicle and driver's licence. If applicable
