This post will be based in Uckfield but all team members support the whole of the SCFT Sussex Immunisation Service, so you must be a car owner/driver and be willing to travel daily to clinics and schools within Sussex.

Main duties of the job

The role will include providing clerical and clinical support in schools, bases, clinics and patients' homes. It is an exciting and varied role, working within a team of nurses, assistants and administrators to deliver vaccination programmes to school aged children and SCFT Staff.

We employ over 5,000 full and part time staff, and provide community services to a population of 1.3 million people.

Our vision is to provide excellent care at the heart of the community and achieving the highest level of service is our top priority.We develop and nurture our staff, and recognise that they are our greatest asset.

We give them clear career pathways, support their wellbeing, recognise and value their diversity and provide them with the leadership, skills and knowledge they need to deliver the best care for our patients now and in the future.

Job responsibilities

You will need to demonstrate your familiarity with Word, Excel and Outlook. Experience of data-inputting is preferable but training will be given. Our Service uses an online consent process so IT skills are vital.

The postholder will be required to fulfil reception duties at clinics and are often the first point of contact for patients and their families on the telephone, so an excellent telephone manner and verbal communication skills are important. The ability to communicate well and remain calm at busy school immunisation sessions is essential.

Our patients are our first priority and we strive to offer compassionate care, whilst also working quickly to vaccinate large numbers of children , young people and adults each day. One aspect of the role will be to provide reassurance to children who are feeling anxious about having a vaccination, therefore, experience of working with children and young people would be an advantage.

We welcome applicants who can demonstrate a willingness to work flexibly and co-operatively with colleagues; both within their own team and the wider multidisciplinary teams across the whole SCFT area. We are looking for people who are motivated, conscientious and committed to supporting us to maintain high vaccination coverage across Sussex.
