About New Zealand Blood and Organ Service
New Zealand Blood and Organ Service (NZBS) has sole responsibility for collecting, processing and distributing blood in New Zealand.

Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to help save lives through our blood, blood products and other services.

At the end of the day, you know that you've contributed in some way to making a difference in someone's life.

Our shared values are at the heart of our organisation's culture and guide our behaviour each and every day. They inspire us, motivate us and drive us to provide the very best service to the New Zealand public.

About the role(s)


NZBS is looking for at least two Donor Technicians (or people keen to be trained to become Qualified Donor Technicians) in our Blood & Plasma Donation Center in Christchurch.


At NZBS, Donor Technicians work under the supervision of a Registered Nurse and are key members of the Collections team, undertaking blood collection and a number of administrative duties.


As our donors are healthy and go out of their way to give up their time to donate blood, customer service is key to ensuring the donors are provided with a donation experience that encourages their continued support.

The hours will generally be worked Monday to Friday, with some varying lengths of days so flexibility is required. Occasional weekend duties may also be required.

Salary starting from $54,236 to $70,954 depending on skills, registration and experience.

About you
We are looking for hardworking and values-driven people who want a challenge and are keen to learn.

We'll teach you and you can eventually be qualified as a Qualified Donor Technician (MLPAT) with full or provisional registration.

If you're already qualified, then even better

Ideally you are:

  • Wanting a challenge
  • Computer literate
  • Peoplefocused
  • Flexible to work rostered shifts and travel frequently on Mobile Blood Drives and overnight stays for up to a week.
Full orientation and training will be given to become a Qualified Donor Technician.

**If this role sounds like you and you are self-motivated, get the best out of people and able to communicate on all levels, then we would like to hear from you.
