Job Summary

You will assist in setting up and running “What’s Your Blood Type?” events where you will perform blood typing testing for which training will be provided.

It’s best if you live within about 15 miles of where the events happen, since things can move quickly and you might need to travel at short notice (we’ll always give you a heads-up though). Some events happen on weekends, so you’ll need to be available occasionally but don’t worry, it’s not every weekend. We do offer extra pay for weekend shifts, and we’ll cover your travel costs based on our policy.

Collecting event equipment and manually setting up suitable spaces to run the event
Performing blood sampling (finger prick test) on members of the public in accordance with our procedures to produce a provisional blood group type for demonstration purposes only. Full training is provided.
Offering information to members of the public on donation in general and specifically in relation to their provisional blood type.
Providing reports to line manager on numbers of people seen and signed up as donors to continually monitor effectiveness of events.
Assist in packing away all equipment and returning this to base for safe disposal of sharps and clinical waste.
Receiving training in basic care/first aid to enable you to respond in cases of adverse reactions.
Loading, unloading, assembling and dismantling equipment on a daily basis, including heavy objects of up to 13 kgs.

About You
