At NHS Blood and Transplant, you’ll help to provide a service that transforms lives, making sure donations get to the people who need them most.
It takes all types to make blood flow and find the organs that match. Of course, we’re not just talking about blood types – we’re also talking about the thousands of people who work here. And every type makes a difference.
Through the donations we receive, including blood, organs, tissues and stem cells, we provide life-saving and life-improving products and treatments, as well as a range of related diagnostic and therapeutic services.
From donor carers, nurses and scientists to logistics experts and drivers, everyone has a vital role to play. Together, we deliver a life-changing service for millions of people across the UK.
