Job summary

Your NHS Vaccination Programme STILL needs you!

Lockdown may be a thing of the past, but Covid isn't and the vaccination programme is still very much part of the healthcare agenda. To help us meet the Covid-19 vaccination requirement as well as supporting other important vaccinations such as flu, we are now looking to expand our workforce pool to help deliver this vital protection to people living across the Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire area.

• Coordination and oversight of screening and vaccination delivery
• Provision of adequate leadership and support to all staff and citizens

• Ensuring the effective delivery of care including undertaking the provision of specialist advice, structured education and ongoing support to staff and citizens
• Provision of on-site and remote support to staff
• Deputising (as required) for Hub Managers

Main duties of the job

To be considered for the role you will be a Qualified and Registered Nurse, Doctor or Pharmacist and be willing to put yourself forward to undertake training and to commit to working 2-3 days a week, during the seasonal vaccination campaigns.

As the Lead Employer for the BSW Covid-19 Vaccination Programme, you will work through the RUH bank on a zero hour's agreement providing ad hoc flexible cover to help deliver vaccines in a variety of setting, including care homes, citizens own homes and in pop-up vaccination clinics in the BSW area.

Shift availability fluctuates depending on demand for vaccines from the general public, with greater availability during the seasonal (autumn and spring) vaccination campaigns and your days and locations of work will be agreed with the Hub Manager team.
