About the role
We are looking for a Permanent Part Time RN (60 HRS) and a Fixed-Term Full time (76 Hours) (1 Year) RN to join our Bunbury team!
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, flexible, self-paced training program strikes a balance between on-the-job practice and online classes to ensure you feel fully supported. You’ll be joining a fast-paced, donor-focused environment, so beyond a genuine passion for delivering an exceptional donor experience, you’ll need to be able to:
- Occasionally lift between 9–22.7 kg
- Provide a warm, friendly service to our donors
- Apply your expertise having completed a Bachelor of Nursing and holding current AHPRA registration
- 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 Friday including early mornings and afternoons.
- Current opperational hours:
Monday: 7:45 am – 3:30 pm
Tuesday: 8:45 am – 7:30 pm
Wednesday: 8:45 am – 7:30 pm
Thursday: 8:15 am – 5:30 pm
Friday: 6:45 am – 5:00 pm
Please note: Travel to Perth CBD may be required during the training period.
