About us
The National Blood Authority (NBA) is an Australian Government statutory agency whose role is to work in a collaborative manner with all Australian governments and blood sector stakeholders to save and improve Australian lives and patient outcomes through a world-class blood supply.
For 20 years, the National Blood Authority (NBA) has delivered an uninterrupted supply of blood and blood products to Australians in need under the national blood arrangements.
Job Context
As part of the Information Technology Services (ITS) team, this role is required to provide support services to the Blood Operation Centre (BOC) team and the ITS Project team. The role will support the management of the BOC team as well as provide support services to multidisciplinary ITS project teams. Knowledge of Agile project management methodologies are advantageous.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual who enjoys working in a rapidly evolving and forward-thinking environment. Our ideal candidate will have strong administrative support skills, including attention to detail, excellent communication skills, good judgement, the ability to manage competing tasks and good management/team building skills.
