School Aged Immunisation staff nurse

Do you have a passion for working with children and young people to improve immunisation outcomes? If so, then why not come 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 Worker 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 the Immunisation Support Worker. 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. 22.5 Hours.

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 are welcome, as we also provide school-based immunisations outside of these hours.

Do you want to be part of a team who all work well together and have the drive for improving immunisation outcomes for children and young people? Then why not apply now and join us during this exciting time of service development?
