Lifeblood has an inspiring opportunity for you

We’re always looking for top talent and your experience could help save lives. If you have fantastic customer-facing experience and a genuine passion to deliver an exceptional service to our Donors, we encourage you register your interest to become a Donor Services Nursing Assistant.

We offer full time and part time employment opportunities at various locations including Melbourne CBD, Caulfield, Airport West & Werribee, Mt Waverley, Ringwood and Frankston.

Our 10-week, full time paid 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 amazing 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
• Be flexible to work varied shifts on a fortnightly rotating roster from Monday to Saturday/Sunday
