About New Zealand Blood Service
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 New Zealand Blood and Organ Service (NZBS) also provides 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.

How you will make impact
Less than 4% of New Zealanders are currently donating and you will play a key role in the retention of existing blood donors and the recruitment of new donors, aimed at growing our donor database. This ensures that we can sustain a continuous blood supply and service to New Zealander's.
This role would also benefit from a background in networking, promotional work, or customer relationship development, and experience presenting to a range of audiences. As a Donor Relations Coordinator your demonstrated experience in customer relations and promotional work will be a significant asset. Whether it is coordinating our Team Red groups, developing new business, promoting mobile collects or special events, no two days are the same.
You may be required to be able to travel throughout the region and will have a 'can-do' attitude with the flexibility to take on tasks as part of a dynamic and multi-functional team.
To help us grow our donor database, you must be able to promote the benefits of donating whole blood and plasma. You will work with people from all walks of life. And, you will interact with people both one-on-one and in group settings.
You will also need to bring a positive, 'can-do' attitude with the flexibility to handle a variety of tasks. No two days are the same. Being one of a team of 11 Donor Relations Coordinators we will expect you to:
- Coordinate our corporate groups and run special events
- Cooperatively work with others to network with Business Leaders/Senior Managers
- Promote the importance of blood and plasma donations to companies and community groups
- Attend our mobile blood drives to recruit new plasma donors.
- Support Donors to donate regularly.
About you
As our new blood, you will have:
Great communication skills and be able to influence a wide range of people and be at ease building productive new relationships internally and externally. By bringing a positive and optimistic mind-set to work you will be comfortable with the pressure to meet and exceed performance targets.
Faced with challenging situations you will be able to apply critical thinking and leverage your organisational ability and time management skills. Having good experience with computers will help you get the most out of this role and achieve the best possible experience for our donors.
