We are looking for you who thrive with responsibility, can work independently and stay calm – even when things are fast-paced and decisions must be made.

Your tasks – donor apheresis (Stærmosegårdsvej 6)

You will become part of donor apheresis, where you will, among other things, need to

• perform plasma apheresis of blood donors
• carry out whole blood collection from blood donors
• take blood samples from blood donors
• freeze plasma
• take care of delegated areas of responsibility in relation to daily operations
• be part of staffing the Blood Bus and as needed in donor apheresis at OUH Svendborg

The tasks require you to work in a structured way, have an overview and independently find solutions in daily life, while ensuring a safe experience for donors.

Your tasks – patient apheresis (J.B. Winsløws Vej 4)

In patient apheresis you will, among other things, work with

• therapeutic apheresis of patients
• stem cell harvest of patients in need of autologous stem cell transplantation
• leukapheresis (with a view to CAR-T treatment or photopheresis)

Therapeutic apheresis is selective removal of plasma, leukocytes or erythrocytes from patients with acute illness. The removed components are usually replaced with corresponding blood components or human albumin. Treatments take place in the patients’ ward area and are performed either via peripheral venous catheters, which are placed ultrasound-guided, or via a central venous catheter.

The tasks require you to remain calm in complex clinical situations, be solution-oriented and able to make professionally justified decisions in close collaboration with the responsible physician and the rest of the team.
