We now need NMC registered vaccinators to step forward in the continued effort to deliver an effective immunisation programme across South West London.

As a Clinical Assessor for the Immunisations service, the post holder will work as part of a dynamic team in delivering a safe and effective service for the delivery of vaccinations for influenza (flu), COVID-19 vaccine(s) - both of which are seasonal campaigns and assist in other immunisation programmes as required. You will be required to vaccinate adults and children.
You are able to choose your shifts and sites through our e-rostering system. You will be fully briefed and training will be provided on all required vaccines including Covid-19.

This advert is for Bank work and you will work as and when required, with flexibility to choose your shifts within the constraints of the service. Please note - if successful you will receive an offer from Croydon Health Services, as the host Trust for the South West London Immunisation Service.
