Temporary Employment Register

The NBA maintains a register of people who would like to work with us on a short-term basis (either full or part-time). As a small organisation, we cannot afford permanent full time staff for many of the competencies we require to be a high performing, stand-alone agency.

We know that there are people out there not currently in the paid workforce who may have just the skills and expertise that we need from time to time. We also know that there are people who would welcome the opportunity to contribute further to the workforce and earn some extra money! While there are employment agencies who will help us, we would also like to establish relationships with individuals who could become part of our “extended” NBA team. These people would gain an understanding of us as an organisation and we will similarly gain confidence in their skills and abilities.

We are looking for people who could perform functions at any level from APS 1 to Executive Level 2. We are not looking for advisers, rather people who are ‘doers’, people who understand what needs to be done and then actually get on and do the job. The temporary / part-time proforma gives and indication of the sorts of skills we are looking for.

Some of the skills required by the NBA are:

Written and Verbal Communication
Project Management
Clinical Practice (eg. Blood / Hospital)
Negotiation
Contract Management
Financial / Budget
Knowledge of Government legislation

The NBA is particularly keen to have applications from people who have recently retired from the workforce or out of the workforce because of family or caring responsibilities.

If you think that you could help us; could you please send one copy of the following:

The Temporary Employment cover sheet;
A copy of your CV; and
A short covering note which indicates:

What particular expertise you could offer;
Your likely availability for the next 12 months (eg daily except Wednesdays, not December/January *although we will not hold you to this: it is just important that we have an indication of your availability); and
Any other information you think will assist us

To:

The Human Resources Team
National Blood Authority

or by email to

On receipt of your application, the NBA will notify you that your application has been received. You will probably only hear from us further if there is a task for which you might be suitable. Applications will be kept on the temporary register for a period of 12 months. If you are still available and interested after 12 months, you will need to send in a new, updated application.
