**About the organisation**

New Zealand Blood and Organ Service (NZBS) is dedicated to saving lives. Every year, tens of thousands of generous people donate their time, blood and plasma to us for free. In addition to our vein to vein service in transfusion we also provide national services in organ transplantation, cellular therapies and tissue banking. We exist to ensure the efficient delivery of safe blood and tissue products on a time critical basis throughout New Zealand and through the generosity of our donors, we are able to help save lives.

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

There is a requirement for leading and promoting collaborative work within the new Clinical Governance Framework, in particular with Donor Services' senior nurses and donor technicians. The principles and practice of Clinical Governance are to be applied across NZBS services and positive donor, patient, and whānau experience is to be promoted at the heart of the care we provide.

The successful nurse appointed to this role will have strong skills in customer care and negotiation.

You must be keen to help us further develop the service within a Clinical Governance Framework, and are enthusiastic about extending your own skills as there is potential for further development in advanced nursing practice. You will be a self-starter and able to work calmly under pressure, be flexible and adaptable to emerging needs, and be an effective communicator ready and keen to work alongside nurses, donor technicians, donors and whanau, as well as a wide variety of healthcare professionals.

Excellent organisational and critical thinking skills are essential, experience in leadership, teaching, use of data to inform, and writing skills are valued advantages.
