Horsham, United Kingdom NHS Blood and Transplant Full time

Job summary

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) collects over 7,000 blood donations every day, providing vital blood and blood products that help to save and improve the lives of thousands of people every year. Our team provides a welcoming and special environment for our volunteer donors, ensuring they receive exceptional, first-class care. As a Healthcare Assistant Blood Donation, you will have the opportunity to learn valuable skills and be an essential member of our team. Youll play a vital role in saving and improving lives daily in an environment where every day is different, we dont collect blood in hospitals, we work within our Donor Centres and out in the community.

Main duties of the job

You will learn hands-on skills in healthcare and take your first steps into a professional career within the NHS. Youll be fully trained in how to set up for a session, how to take blood from our donors, and youll be their first point of care during their time with us. Youll also make sure we keep accurate records of donor sessions, while managing the safe handling of blood and blood products, needles and other medical equipment. You will also ensure we offer a great service to our donors, so they want to come back time and time again As part of a true multi-disciplinary team, youll work variable hours and days including evenings, weekends and bank holidays all without the night shifts. Youll also be working alongside medical professionals, which means youll discover more autonomy and responsibility than equivalent roles elsewhere in the NHS.

It takes all types of people to deliver the kind of service that saves and improves lives. At NHS Blood and Transplant, youll join a team of more than 6,000 people who are making a genuine difference to communities, families, friends, relatives and more across the UK. We play a unique and special role in the NHS by helping people do something extraordinary- donate blood, blood products, organs, tissues, or stem cells to save someone in need. Our three core values are what set us apart. They guide and inspire everything we do. By being caring, expertly meeting the needs of our patients and our people, and accepting nothing less than the best quality, we can do extraordinary work and help our people to do something extraordinary in their career, too. Three small words, one big difference - Caring, Expert and Quality. Together we'll save and improve more lives than ever. You will join us on our journey to create an inclusive workplace and aim to reflect the diverse communities we work with, and we positively encourage applications from all sectors of the community.
