Job description

Hours: Term Time

We are looking for Band 5 Nurses to join our Greenwich Immunisation Team, part of the South London Children and Young People’s Community Immunisation Service.

This is a rewarding and fast-paced role where you will help deliver school-aged and catch-up immunisations across schools and community clinics — protecting children and young people from preventable diseases.

If you are passionate about public health, enjoy working with children, and want to build your clinical and safeguarding experience, we would love to hear from you.

Your day starts by packing vaccine equipment and preparing for school or clinic visits. In the morning, you’ll be out in the community delivering vaccinations. You may visit two schools per day during the busy flu season. After a break, you’ll return to base to restock and prepare for the next day.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver the School Age Immunisation Programme, including inhaled influenza vaccines
• Assist with planning and delivery of immunisation sessions in schools, community venues, and homes
• Promote uptake by providing evidence-based information to parents and carers
• Follow all relevant safety protocols and procedures for safe immunisation delivery
• Help run satellite immunisation clinics across the borough

Why Choose Community Immunisation?

• Be part of the Healthy Child Programme, improving public health and school attendance
• Help reduce preventable illnesses, hospital admissions, and time off school
• Work with well children in an upbeat, positive environment
• Gain experience in health promotion, safeguarding, and vaccination protocols
• Join a collaborative and capable team that values your input
• Ideal for newly qualified nurses or those looking for a change from ward-based roles

What We Offer

• An experienced local team led by a dedicated Team Lead
• Full induction, training and mentorship, including flu training, BLS, manual handling and immunisation competencies
• The chance to shadow sessions before working independently
• Clear daily schedules and a well-organised service so you can focus on care
• A community-based role with real opportunities to grow your skills and confidence

Please note: This is a 6-month fixed-term role, based in Kingston & Richmond, with travel to schools and community sites across the boroughs. You will be provided with a parking permit or have travel expenses reimbursed when you use your car for work. The position is term-time only, with opportunities for full-time (during term-time only), part-time, or job share working arrangements — offering flexibility to fit around your lifestyle.
