If you're looking for a role where you can have a direct impact, join us and be part of an innovative Vaccination Service that protects and enhances public health every day., We are looking for a skilled and motivated Clinical Nurse Specialist to support the Travel Vaccination Service. In this crucial role, you will provide specialist clinical care and advice, helping to develop and deliver essential vaccinations across NHS Lanarkshire. With a focus on travel vaccinations, you will work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including public health specialists, Advanced Clinical Nurse Specialists, and other healthcare professionals. Your expertise will be vital in shaping the future of vaccination services., Please note for all vacancies where a driving licence is required this must be a full UK/EU/EEA licence.

From 1 April 2024, the working week for NHS Agenda for Change workers in Scotland will be reduced. Full-time hours will reduce from 37.5 to 37 hours (pro rata for part-time staff) without loss of earnings. NHS Lanarkshire will implement this change but it may not be possible to fully transition from 1 April and there may therefore be some areas of the organisation where implementation may take longer. If the department is currently unable to safely accommodate the reduced hours from 1st April, you may be required to work 37.5 hours per week until the department can meet the requirements without impacting patient safety - you will, of course, be remunerated accordingly. NHS Lanarkshire is committed to full implementation of the 37 hour working week across all areas as soon as it is safe to do so.
