Main duties of the job

Are you a people person who loves making others feel comfortable and supported? If you're someone who naturally puts others at ease, enjoys chatting with people, and can handle questions and concerns with confidence, this could be the perfect role for you!

You don't need a healthcare background; experience in retail, hospitality, customer service, or even volunteering is just as valuable. If you've worked in a team and know what it means to go the extra mile for someone, we'd love to hear from you. Bring your positive attitude and enthusiasm for delivering a great experience, and well provide all the training you need.

In this role, you'll learn practical healthcare skills and take a step into the NHS. You'll be the friendly face that greets our donors, supports them through the donation process, and makes sure they leave feeling good about their experience.

You'll also keep accurate records, handle blood products safely, and ensure everything is set up for a smooth session. Plus, you'll get the opportunity to drive our equipment lorry (don't worry, well give you full training for that!).Its a hands-on, active role with some lifting and moving, so you'll need to be comfortable working on your feet and as part of a supportive, close-knit team.

If you're ready to build a meaningful career, gain valuable skills, and make a real difference, we cant wait to welcome you on board!
