Description
Take your clinical experience beyond the bedside. Make an impact that lasts a lifetime.
Are you a nurse, respiratory therapist, or experienced healthcare professional looking for a meaningful next step in your career?
At Network for Hope (NFH), our Organ Recovery Coordinators play a vital role in making life-saving organ donation possible. Combining clinical expertise, critical thinking, and compassionate care, you'll work alongside hospital teams, donor families, and transplant professionals to help give others a second chance at life.
No previous organ donation experience? That's okay! We provide specialized training to help qualified clinical professionals transition into this rewarding field.
What Makes This Opportunity Unique?
- Meaningful Impact: Use your clinical skills to help save and enhance lives through organ donation.
- Flexibility & Independence: Enjoy the flexibility of taking call from home while remaining ready to respond to hospitals throughout our service area as donation opportunities arise.
- A Different Clinical Experience: Apply your healthcare expertise beyond a traditional bedside role, working across hospital environments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
- Professional Growth: Develop specialized skills in donor management, organ recovery, and transplantation through comprehensive training and ongoing professional development.
- Collaborative, Mission-Driven Team: Work alongside dedicated professionals who share a commitment to honoring donors and supporting families.
What You'll Do
As an Organ Recovery Coordinator, you'll support the organ donation process from referral through recovery, combining clinical expertise with compassionate care.
- Evaluate Potential Donors: Collaborate with hospital teams to assess donor eligibility, review medical records and clinical data, and identify opportunities for organ donation.
- Clinical Donor Care: Work closely with ICU and hospital staff to ensure effective donor care.
- Coordinate Organ Recovery: Manage the logistics of organ allocation and recovery, including communication with transplant centers, surgical teams, and hospital personnel. Assist with surgical preservation and recovery procedures as needed.
- Support Donor Families: Provide compassionate communication to donor families as needed in collaboration with Family Support Coordinators.
- Ensure Quality and Compliance: Maintain accurate documentation, follow applicable regulatory standards, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that strengthen the donation process.
What You'll Bring
We're looking for healthcare professionals with strong clinical judgment, adaptability, and a passion for making a difference. Previous organ donation experience is not required.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in health-related field preferred. Associate degree with four years' experience acceptable. RN or other healthcare licensure preferred. Exceptional candidates with significant health-care experience may also apply.
- Experience: 2 years of clinical healthcare-related experience required. 1 year of experience in critical care, emergency, donation or transplant settings highly preferred.
- Licensure, Certification, and/or Registration: ACLS required. Certified Procurement Transplant Coordinator (CPTC) preferred.
- Schedule & Travel: Ability to work extended on-call shifts, respond promptly to hospitals throughout our service area, and adapt to unpredictable case activity.
What to Expect From the Schedule
This isn't your typical hospital-based clinical position. Our Organ Recovery Coordinators work on-call shifts, often with the flexibility to take call from home when not actively responding to donation cases or attending departmental meetings or trainings.
When a donation opportunity arises, coordinators travel to hospitals throughout our service area to provide hands-on clinical support and manage the donation process. Case activity can be unpredictable, and some shifts may involve extended periods of active clinical work. This role offers a unique balance of independence, flexibility, and meaningful clinical responsibility for professionals who thrive in a dynamic environment.
