Are you looking for a varied working environment? Do you want to work term time only? Do you enjoy working in a challenging and busy environment?
If you answered “yes” to all the above then being part of our expanding School Aged Immunisation Team could be the right opportunity for you.
The role offers a flexible working pattern, to meet service need, which will include the ability to start work at 07:30 when required and some weekend and evening work. Flexibility to attend other areas of the county as needed is also required. The post is based in either Banbury or Witney and you would be required to work across both areas.
We are therefore looking for adaptable, flexible people who have excellent administration and clinical skills and who also have experience of working with children and young people.
Advert
Your role will be to support the School Aged Immunisation team in organising, managing and delivering the school-based immunisation programme in all schools. You will be required to attend immunisation sessions in schools and community clinics to provide administrative support and within your role as Healthcare Support Worker you will be required to administer the Flu vaccinations to young people following the supply of the vaccine by an appropriately Registered Healthcare Professional. You will also be required to attend vaccination sessions to observe students who may feel unwell post vaccination. Full training will be given.
The role requires travel to schools and community venues, so you need to be a car driver with access to a car. If necessary, adjustments can be considered in line with the Equality Act 2010. Mileage from base will be paid.
