Welsh Blood Service Bank

The Welsh Blood Service (WBS) operates a flexible 'bank' staffing model to support its blood collection infrastructure throughout Wales. This platform is designed for healthcare professionals and support workers who wish to work on an ad-hoc basis rather than through a permanent contract. There are two primary roles: Registered Nurses, who oversee clinical safety and venepuncture, and Donor Carers, who assist with donor registration, health screening, and post-donation monitoring. Users earn hourly wages ranging from £12 to £25, depending on their specific role and shift timing. The work is highly structured, following strict medical protocols to ensure the safety of the blood supply. It suits individuals who require a flexible schedule but prefer the stability of a public health environment. Commitment varies based on service demand and worker availability, but most bank staff are expected to maintain regular competency. While some roles require professional medical registration (NMC), donor carer positions are accessible to those with basic healthcare experience who are willing to undergo specialized training.
