School Immunisation Staff Nurse

NHS; Leeds; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 60,000; Full time

Job description

Do you have a passion for working with children and young people to improve immunisation outcomes? If so, then why not join our School Aged Immunisation Service (SAIS), as we deliver and develop the service within the West Yorkshire Vaccination and Immunisation Collaboration (WYVIC).

You will be part of a supportive and dedicated team of Nurses, Immunisation Support Workers, and Administrators working collaboratively to deliver immunisations to the children and young people of Leeds, according to the National Childhood Immunisation and Influenza Programme.

You will be responsible for maintaining the safe storage, transportation, and administration of vaccines and will contribute to the mentorship of pre-registration Nurses and support of Immunisation Support Workers. Our nurses receive Clinical Supervision and Child Protection Supervision and are expected to recognise and address any safeguarding issues that may arise. The role is a part-time, term-time only post.

Main duties of the job

As a SAIS Nurse, you will have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to have positive conversations regarding immunisations with young people, parents, and school-based staff. You will be flexible to change and able to work across the city at our immunisation sessions held within school settings and designated community clinics.

Previous experience in immunising would be advantageous, but individuals with a keen interest and potential will also be considered, as we offer a robust induction and training package for any identified learning and development needs. Our working hours are 8am - 5pm, Monday to Friday; however, some flexibility outside of these hours is welcome, as we also provide school-based immunisations outside of these hours. Do you want to be part of a team that works well together and is driven to improve immunisation outcomes for children and young people? Then apply now and join us during this exciting time of service development.
