Help save lives of local area patients by becoming a Registration Volunteer or Donor Monitor at our mobile blood drives in South Seattle!
Registration volunteers are the first link in a long life-saving chain. This position involves greeting donors as they arrive, registering them in our system, and directing them to the next steps in the donation process. Training is provided.
Donor Monitor volunteers are the final link in a long life-saving chain. This position involves greeting donors as they finish the donation process, providing them with needed refreshments, monitoring them for adverse reactions and making them feel welcome. Training is provided.
Volunteers will work at our community mobile blood drives. Mobile blood drives can be on a bus or set up in a conference room or another location at local businesses, schools and churches. Mobile blood drives allow us to make donations more convenient for donors! We come to them!
Volunteers should enjoy working with the public, be able to sit at a computer for up to 30-60 minutes at a time, be computer savvy, and enjoy working in an ever-changing regulated environment. This position is perfect for those seeking work experience in Healthcare. Previous experience with the blood center or having donated blood in the past is not required.
Positions are mostly on weekdays. Drives are typically 6 hours long with a half hour break. Most run from 9am-3pm or 10am-4pm.

Mission Statement
Saving lives through research, innovation, education and excellence in blood, medical and laboratory services in partnership with our community.
Description
Bloodworks Northwest: Because blood works miracles every day. As a unique, hybrid provider of health care services for the community, we collect, test and distribute essential, lifesaving blood to nearly 90 hospitals in the Pacific Northwest. We’re transfusion experts who consult with physicians. We’re also medical professionals who deliver clinical care to patients with blood disorders and disease. We’re scientists at specialized laboratories who support patients and surgeons at organ transplant and cancer treatment centers. And we’re a respected Research Institute studying everything related to blood. Here are some of the ways we’re saving lives every day:
Your Community Resource For Lifesaving Blood-With the help of a 250,000 registered donors in the region, Bloodworks NW collects about 900 units of blood each day. All blood receives immediate, comprehensive testing so that it can be available to 90 regional hospitals - usually in less than 24 hours after donation. We operate 11 donor centers and our mobile units travel to hundreds of blood drives every month at work sites, schools, churches, and other community locations throughout Western Washington.
Volunteerism-Bloodworks NW benefits from the dedicated work of volunteers. Our volunteers make a real difference and a vital contribution to help save lives, gain work experience, build skills, earn community service hours and feel justifiably proud about giving back to those in need.
