Heathfield, United Kingdom Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Immunisation Programme Assistant (Heathfield) - Part Time, permanent.

An opportunity has arisen for a Band 3 Immunisation Programme Assistant to join the SCFT Sussex Immunisation Service.

The role requires core working hours of 8am-4pm three days per week, with flexibility at either end of the day for packing of vaccines or clinic cover on a rota basis. You will also cover one Saturday clinic per term.

The SCFT Sussex Immunisation Service vaccinates children aged 0-19 years in schools and clinics across East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton & Hove.

This post will be based in Heathfield 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 to clinics and schools within Sussex.

The role will include providing clerical and clinical support in schools, bases, clinics and patients' homes. You will also be working with hard to reach groups such as travellers and children who are looked after. It is an exciting role as our programmes incorporate the flu vaccinations that are being offered to children in primary schools, in addition to our senior school vaccination programmes.

As the largest provider of community healthcare services in Sussex, our teams help people to plan for and manage changes to their health, supporting patients and their families to live more independently. 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 provideexcellent care at the heart of the communityand 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.

Our innovative and dynamic Immunisation teams are dedicated to improving immunisation uptake and delivering the national evidence-based Schools’ Immunisation Programmes. This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly expanding service.

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 ability to communicate well and remain calm at busy immunisation sessions is essential, as one aspect of the role is providing reassurance to anxious children.

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.
