As a Donor Centre Administrator, you will play a vital role in helping NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) deliver life-saving Plasma donations to patients who need them. You will build strong relationships with donors, manage appointment schedules, and provide an outstanding experience for everyone visiting or contacting the donor centre.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will use your organisational skills, attention to detail, and technical expertise to ensure donor records, appointments, and centre administration are managed accurately and efficiently. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to patient care, develop specialist skills, and help ensure donors are available when they are needed most.
