Job description

Job responsibilities

Therapeutic Apheresis Services (TAS) is the only patient-facing service within NHS Blood and Transplant and is recognised nationally as one of our flagship clinical services. We are expanding TAS across the Southwest Peninsula, providing specialist outreach support to the four main hospitals in Devon and Cornwall.

As a TAS Nurse, you will play a vital role in delivering lifesaving and life-enhancing apheresis treatments to both adult and paediatric patients. There is no dedicated TAS unit within the Southwest; instead, you will work entirely through outreach, travelling to and operating within partner hospitals across the region. This offers exceptional variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to develop strong working relationships within multiple host Trusts.

You will be joining a unique national NHS service that combines specialist expertise with the infrastructure and support of both NHS Blood and Transplant and our partner organisations. To help you thrive, we provide a comprehensive residential induction and continuous professional development tailored specifically to this highly specialised role.

If you are looking for a dynamic, autonomous nursing role where every day is different and where you can make a direct, meaningful impact on patient care across Devon and Cornwall, we would be delighted to receive your application.

You will be required to travel and spend time away from base, which will involve working irregular hours and overnight stays when required, with prior notice.

Requirement to participate in an on-call and shift-based rota, which may include evening, weekend, or public holiday working.

What we offer:

• Flexible working options – we promote flexible working where the role allows. We’re happy to discuss what flexibility might look like for you.
• Generous annual leave - 27 days annual leave (pro rata for part-time) plus Bank Holidays, increasing to 29 days after 5 years’ service and to 33 days after 10 years.
• Inclusive pension scheme - the NHS Pension Scheme is a defined benefit scheme (not dependent on investment returns). Further details and outline of benefits can be found at: http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/information-about-nhs-pensions‎
• Supportive learning culture - we’ve fostered a culture of continuous learning where colleagues are well-led, engaged, and encouraged to grow. We support you in reaching your full potential, both in your current role and future career. Our Thrive program embodies our commitment to learning and development, offering a wide range of activities to support your personal and professional growth. It’s open to everyone at NHSBT, ensuring you have the resources to succeed and shine in your role.
• Health and wellbeing support – we offer confidential services including occupational health, employee assistance programme, and wellbeing resources. Our support is available to all colleagues and we endeavour to provide tailored workplace adjustments where possible.

As a Disability Confident Employer, we welcome applications from disabled candidates. We will talk with you to explore any adjustments that may help you during the recruitment process.
