Job summary

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive a sufficient number of suitable applications. Applicants are therefore advised to apply at the earliest opportunity.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated Registered Nurse to join the Powys Immunisation and Vaccination Service, based in Bronllys, working across Mid and South Powys.

You will play a key role in delivering immunisation and vaccination programmes that protect and improve the health of local communities. Vaccinations are delivered in a range of settings, including vaccination centres, community hospitals, care homes and outreach clinics.

Working alongside Lead Nurses and Clinical Supervisors, you will provide safe, evidence-based, person-centred care. The role includes clinical assessment, vaccine administration in line with national guidance, promoting vaccine confidence, supporting health promotion activities, and providing day-to-day support to Healthcare Support Worker Immunisers.

The ability to travel independently to vaccination sites across Powys is essential.

If you are looking for a rewarding role with variety, autonomy and the opportunity to make a real difference to local communities, we would love to hear from you.

• Supporting, supervising and developing Healthcare Support Worker Immunisers and students.
• Contributing to immunisation programme delivery, including catch-up campaigns and outbreak response activities.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues, partner organisations and local communities to improve vaccination uptake and reduce health inequalities. The post requires excellent communication skills, flexibility and the ability to work independently while maintaining high standards of clinical safety and person-centred care.
