An exciting opportunity has been created to ensure the safe and effective delivery of various vaccinations to the public.

We are now looking to appoint permanent Band 5 Vaccinator roles across North Aberdeenshire vaccination program. This will be within vaccination centres at Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Macduff, as well as outlying community clinics. Successful individuals will support the Partnerships to deliver the full Vaccine Transformation Programme across all age ranges, in line with their professional registration, skills and experience.

Applicants should hold a valid registration with a governing body or be a registered nurse with current full NMC registration. They must be able to demonstrate a high standard of care, so the immunisation programme is carried out safely, effectively and according to the national policies. Applicants must have good time management and should be an active team player, but also be able to work on their own initiative. They need to have an open, friendly manner with excellent communication skills, as they can be dealing with a diverse range of people from all age groups, occasionally resulting in stressful situations.

Applicants must have completed the NES online immunisation course, showing they will have an increased knowledge of vaccinations and service delivery, including a working knowledge of the UK immunisation schedule and the “Green Book”, thus having the ability to make decisions relating to safe principles of vaccination delivery. Experience in supervising junior staff and mentoring students would also be very desirable.

We are seeking people for a minimum of 15 hours per week, and days of work will be over 7 days.
