This role is truly part‑time, with most shifts lasting 4 to 6 hours per day, 3 or more days per week—designed to fit your life. We will confirm availability, along with shift days and times, early in the interview process. Team members will be informed in advance of any schedule changes. Our patients depend on the plasma we collect, so reliability during scheduled hours is greatly valued. These part‑time roles are designed with the understanding that flexibility on both sides is important.

Whether someone is looking for extra income, valuable experience, or a schedule that fits a busy life—BioLife welcomes part‑time team members just like you.

About the role: Every day, the donors you meet will motivate you. The high‑quality plasma you collect will become life‑changing medicines. A commitment to customer service and quality is expected. You will report to the Plasma Center Manager and perform as a plasma donor screener and phlebotomist to support plasma center operations.

• Answer phones, greet donors, and focus on donor safety and team safety.
• Screen new and repeat donors and take and record donor vital signs and finger‑stick results.
• Use the Donor Information System, prepare donor charts, maintain accurate records, and coordinate donor compensation.
• Help identify operational opportunities for continuous improvement and initiate changes to center processes using company‑approved procedures.
• Work a variety of shifts, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

What you bring to Takeda

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to walk and/or stand for the entire work shift.
• Will work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Ability to lean, bend, stoop, crouch, and reach above shoulders and below knees.
• Ability to lift to 5 lbs., occasional lifting of materials up to 32 lbs., and rarely 50 lbs.
• Fine motor coordination, depth perception, and ability to hear equipment from a distance.
• Because of potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens (risk level 1), 90% of work tasks require prolonged glove wear.
• One or more years minimum experience working in a customer or patient‑facing role is helpful.
