• Greet donors, explain the donation process as necessary and assist with initial intake and hand offs through the blood donation process.
• Model excellent customer service behaviors.
• Ensure blood donors have relevant information and that questions are answered appropriately while creating a favorable impression of the blood donation process.
• Provide customer service to donors in the Hospitality Area by ensuring that each donor is recognized for his/her contribution. Report possible adverse post-donation physical reactions to the collections staff.
• Set up and maintain cleanliness in Reception and Hospitality Areas, and Donor Areas/Beds as requested.
• Work with collections team supervisor or charge staff to match donor’s blood type with the best product for maximum impact of the donation.
• May make reminder/cancellation calls, re-schedule donor appointments, and perform follow up activities as directed.
