**About New Zealand Blood and Organ Service**

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.

**About the role**

Medical Laboratory Scientists within the Component Processing team are responsible for a range of duties including processing of blood and blood products and quality control, participating in a rotating roster between both Epsom and Highbrook sites. You will be trained to:

- Manufacture pooled platelets from buffy coats
- Manufacture cryoprecipitate from plasma
- Manufacture resuspended red cell, buffy coats and plasma from whole blood
- Perform quality control testing on the products we manufacture such as bacterial testing
- Dispense medicine to patients

Supported by a well-established team of Scientists and Technicians committed to quality service and high standards and patient well-being, this would be a great opportunity for a BMLS graduate needing to complete the required period of supervised practice to gain full registration.

**About you**

To be successful in this role you will need to
- Be registered or eligible for registration as a Medical Laboratory Scientist with the Medical Sciences Council of New Zealand
- Demonstrate excellent organisational, interpersonal and communication skills
- Have the ability to achieve the targets and objectives of the service
- Have a positive attitude
- Have the flexibility to fully participate in our 7am - midnight roster, as well as rostered weekend shifts and on call duties as required.

**If you have effective interpersonal and communication skills, are self-motivated with a willing personality and positive attitude, then this role could be for you
