Job Description
About BioLife Plasma Services
At BioLife, nursing can be a challenging, yet fulfilling career. Nursing careers at BioLife are different from many other nursing careers. Here, our Plasma Center Nurses screen and advise donors to ensure they are in good health to donate plasma. In turn, that plasma is used to create lifesaving and life-sustaining therapies received by hundreds of thousands of people with rare and complex diseases.
As a Plasma Center Nurse, you get to know our donors while working in a modern, fast-paced, yet laid-back environment. You’ll work alongside friendly teammates who share your dedication to saving lives, and be a part of a supportive, fun culture. You can build a lasting career with us and there are opportunities to advance to management.
Nursing doesn’t have to be hard work—at BioLife, it can be a career you love.
BioLife Plasma Services is a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. Every day, the donors you meet will motivate you. The high-quality plasma you collect will become life-changing medicines. Here, a commitment to customer service and quality is expected.
About the Role
You will determine donor eligibility to donate plasma, management of donor adverse events, review of laboratory test results, and donor notification of unsuitable test results. The Medical Support Specialist (Plasma Center Nurse) works under the guidance of the Center Manager (or Assistant Manager as applicable) for operational guidance and under the management of the Center Physician for medical issues. The Medical Support Specialist will be familiar with regulations of the plasma collection industry or a manufacturing environment.
