Immunisation Nurse

2 weeks ago

Chichester, United Kingdom Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

An opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Immunisation Nurse to join our School-aged Immunisation Service.

This permanent vacancy is for three days per week, core hours 8am - 4pm, with flexibility required to start earlier to pack vaccines or finish later to run after-school clinics.

SCFT's Immunisation Service vaccinates children in schools and clinics across West Sussex, East Sussex and Brighton and Hove.

Although this post is based within the Chichester team our whole service approach requires joint working across the whole of Sussex.

Main duties of the job

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 busy, yet friendly team of nurses, assistants and administrators.

The role encompasses responsibility for clinical delivery of vaccinations and patient safety, specialist advice on immunisation issues, and the opportunity to develop skills in both independent and team working.

We welcome applicants who can demonstrate a willingness to work flexibly and cooperatively with colleagues both within their own team and the wider multidisciplinary teams across the whole SCFT area. You will need to be motivated, conscientious and committed to supporting us to maintain high vaccination coverage across Sussex.

The team visits several schools across the county daily, so you would be likely to visit a different school each day during school term time and carry out catch-up clinics during the school holidays. We currently offer HPV and Teenage booster vaccinations in secondary schools and nasal spray flu vaccinations to eligible cohorts within schools. We also offer the neonatal BCG programme and other immunisations, such as MMR vaccinations

About us

We are the main provider of NHS community services across East and West Sussex. Our 6,000 staff serve a population of million providing essential medical, nursing, and therapeutic care to adults and children.

Our Trust vision is to provide excellent care at the heart of the community, helping people plan, manage, adapt to changes in their health, supporting avoidable hospital admissions and reducing hospital stay times.

We have opportunities for everyone across our wide variety of services including medical, clinical, support and corporate services.

Why work for us?

Positive 2022 NHS Staff Survey results, scoring highly in compassionate culture & leadership, and staff wellbeing support Variety of working environments across the community, in patients' homes, within our community hospitals and bases across the county Supportive flexible working patterns such as: part time, flexi time, annualised hours, and flexi retirement options Excellent training and development opportunities Research opportunities Cost-effective workplace nurseries in Crawley, Hove and Brighton Thriving BAME, Disability and Wellbeing, LGBT+ and Religion and Belief staff network Level 3 accredited Disability Confident Leader, committed to creating inclusive workplaces Veteran Aware Trust, achieving accreditation from Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA) Located in stunning Sussex, with easy access to the South Downs and the coast Access to a wide range of benefits and discounts for NHS staff Job description

Job responsibilities

The successful applicant will work in schools, clinics and family homes with children, young people and babies to deliver vaccinations in a safe and professional way. Engagement with hard to reach groups such as travellers and children who are looked after is another aspect of the service's remit and the Band 5 Immunisation Nurse responsibilities will include supporting this work in the community. The ability to communicate well and remain calm under pressure is essential.

The role requires working core hours of 8am-4pm with flexibility required at either end of the day for packing of vaccines and clinic cover, on a rota basis within the team. We also run Saturday clinics, which you would be required to cover once per term.

All team members support the whole of the SCFT Immunisation Service, so you must be a car owner-driver and be willing to travel to clinics and schools within Sussex.
