Healthy people must regularly donate to minimize disruptions to the blood supply and to ensure blood is available for patients. Since it is the blood already on the shelves that saves lives, maintaining a sufficient blood supply is essential to ensure patients in need to receive treatment. If you are feeling healthy, and well we strongly encourage you to schedule and keep blood donations regularly to help patients in our local hospitals

Position Overview
The Assistant Client Care Manager plays a pivotal role in supporting Project C.U.R.E.'s mission by ensuring strong relationships with partners and sponsors throughout each step of the shipping container project process. From the moment a partner engages with Project C.U.R.E. to the delivery of donated medical supplies, the Assistant Client Care Manager ensures smooth communication, timely updates, and an exceptional experience. This role supports the Executive Director (Client Care Manager) and interacts regularly with the logistics team to keep projects on track and fulfill all partner and sponsor expectations.   Although this position is primarily remote, we would ask that you come to our Spring Branch warehouse for initial training and then occasionally thereafter.

Included is a step-by-step guide outlining the project process to aid in training and orientation.

Key Responsibilities

1.         Initial Contact and Request Submission: Partners submit a request for donated medical supplies.

2.         Verification and Feasibility: Project C.U.R.E. reviews the feasibility of shipping supplies and arranges a consultation with the partner to discuss the process, expectations, and requirements.

3.         Cargo Consultation: Conduct a consultation with the partner to verify critical details such as necessary equipment, facility readiness, and required funds, and to clarify any questions.

4.         Partnership Plan Agreement: After the consultation, the partner reviews and signs a Partnership Plan. While not legally binding, this document ensures mutual understanding and alignment on project expectations and responsibilities.

5.         Assessment Invoice: Once the Partnership Plan is signed, the Client Care Manager requests an assessment invoice from the Assessment Manager (Tresena). The invoice is sent to the partner, and upon payment confirmation, introductions are made to continue the assessment process.

6.         Assessment and Facility Evaluation: Tresena schedules an on-site assessment, with the in-country partner responsible for logistics support. The assessor evaluates the facility and completes a report based on findings.

7.         Shipping Invoice and Payment: Following the assessment, Project C.U.R.E. issues a shipping invoice. Once paid, it is logged in the database, and the logistics team prepares the shipping manifest.

8.         Manifest Review and Modifications: The partner reviews the shipping manifest, requesting any necessary modifications to ensure alignment with their needs.

9.         Shipping and Delivery Coordination: The logistics team arranges shipment, selecting an appropriate warehouse and setting a loading date. The container is then shipped to the specified port or facility.

Support our screening stations by restocking PPE supplies throughout the day. Support our patients and guests by offering them masks to wear and showing them to their destination in the hospital.
