Job description

Job Description

At BioLife, we know that flexibility matters – especially for those balancing multiple commitments. That's why we're dedicated to creating meaningful part‑time opportunities for our team.

This role is truly part‑time, with most shifts lasting between 4 to 6 hours a day, 3+ days per week – designed to fit your life.

• We’ll confirm your availability and shift days and times early in the interview process. Because we value open communication, you’ll always be informed about any schedule changes in advance.
• Our patients depend on the plasma we collect, so your reliability during your scheduled hours is greatly valued. The part‑time roles are designed with the understanding that flexibility on both sides is key.

About the role

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.

You will report to the Plasma Center Manager and perform as a plasma donor screener and phlebotomist to support plasma center operations.

Responsibilities

• Answer phones, greet and focus on donors, while ensuring the safety of donors and our team.
• 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.

Qualifications

• 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 up to 5 lbs. and occasionally up to 32 lbs. (rarely 50 lbs.).
• Fine motor coordination, depth perception, and ability to hear equipment from a distance.
• Due to potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens (risk level 1), 90 % of tasks require prolonged glove wear.
• 1 + year minimum experience in a customer or patient‑facing role is helpful.

Benefits

We offer a purpose you can believe in, a team you can count on, opportunities for career growth, and a comprehensive benefits program that includes retirement benefits, medical/dental, family leave, disability insurance, and more in a fast‑paced, friendly environment.
