A Day in the Life: Your Impact:

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood - and you help make that lifesaving connection possible.

You'll travel with your team to donation sites at schools, community centers, workplaces, and more. This role blends hands-on teamwork, meaningful interactions, and the satisfaction of knowing your work matters.

Your day includes:

• Set the Stage - Transport and set up equipment to turn everyday spaces into professional donation centers. All staff work as a team to set up and tear down the equipment required to conduct a mobile blood drive.
• Connect with Donors - Welcome donors, listen to their stories, and help them feel comfortable and valued.
• Build Real Skills - Perform safe, high-quality blood collections once fully trained in phlebotomy techniques.
• Ensure Safety & Compliance - Follow all safety procedures and regulatory requirements to ensure every donation meets quality standards and can be safely transfused.
• Pack Up with Purpose - Leave each site knowing the blood collected today could reach a patient within days.

The Schedule (Bozeman, Montana):

We operate when donors are available, so you can expect a mix of:

• Early mornings.
• Evenings.
• Weekends.
• Occasional holidays.
• Some locations may require overnight travel.

Your schedule is shared 2-3 weeks in advance, giving you plenty of time to plan your life around your work.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for people with heart, reliability, and strong potential - whether your background is medical, service-based, or community-focused.

You'll do well here if you have:

• A high school diploma or GED.
• Customer service experience and effective verbal communication skills.
• A current, valid driver's license with a good driving record; reliable personal transportation may be required in certain locations.
• Basic computer skills required; proficiency with Microsoft Office applications required.

This role is physically active. You'll need to be comfortable with:

• Lifting, pushing, or pulling heavy weights up and down ramps and stairs.
• Good manual dexterity.
• Sitting or standing for long periods of time.
• Adapting to long, irregular hours and frequent schedule changes.
• A minimum height of 60 inches (required to safely operate Red Cross vehicles).

Preferred Qualifications:

Bonus points (not required) - we love seeing experience in any of the following:

• Prior healthcare or phlebotomy experience (CNA, MA, EMT, etc.).
• Prior leadership experience.
• Retail, hospitality, food service, military service, or other people-focused roles.
