DonorConnect is seeking a full-time Donation Program Coordinator.

We are looking for two Donation Program Coordinators. One for Utah Valley in Provo AND for Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. The DPC at Primary Children Hospital should have pediatric experience.

DonorConnect is a federally designated nonprofit community service organization dedicated to the recovery of organs and tissues to be used for life-saving transplants. Our employees help save and heal lives!

The Donation Program Coordinator (DPC) is responsible for developing and maintaining strong working relationships with assigned hospital partners at all levels of the organization. You will work with assigned hospitals to determine client needs, build a knowledge base, and develop strategies or action plans to maximize donations. You will be vital in coordinating and executing general education activities, such as conducting professional education presentations, assisting with developing education materials, leading the Donor Council, and facilitating donation performance improvement plans. You will assume responsibility for identifying patients in the critical care units who have met clinical triggers and necessitate a referral.
