Job Introduction
Last year, thousands of people stepped forward to offer their time and skills to support NHS England’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign. Because of them we were able to roll out primary vaccinations to millions of people quickly, saving thousands of lives.
Now, with the emergence of the Omicron variant, the vaccination programme is being ramped up further. And we are once again recruiting thousands of paid roles to help us deliver booster vaccinations across England.
The role
Here’s your chance to oversee a dynamic team responsible for delivering safe and effective COVID-19 vaccination and booster services. We will look to you to ensure all vaccination stations are configured correctly and that safe vaccine administration is followed.
Within these stations, you’ll be supervising the clinical assessment and consent of people prior to their injection, overseeing the work of several vaccinators, as well as supporting assessments in cases where there’s a complex medical history or the potential for an adverse reaction, offering specialist advice as needed. It will also be your responsibility to supervise the reconstitution and drawing up of vaccines, ensuring each activity is recorded, as well as post-vaccination observations, responding to any emergencies as appropriate.
Who we are looking for
To succeed in this vital role, you will need to be a registered healthcare professional – an NMC nurse or GPhC pharmacist, for example. Educated to degree level, or with the equivalent level of experience in healthcare, you will have clinical supervisory and vaccination experience, and will have received (or be willing to undertake) current immunisation training.
Good communication and people skills are both essential, so too, is the ability to analyse and interpret information and issues, and recommend the best course of action.
Where you’ll be working
We are looking for Clinical Supervisors across all regions in England. If your application is successful, you will be given the opportunity to work at one or several of the vaccination centres in your region.
