This is a new post, working in our new vaccination hub in Bury Park. If you are a registered nurse and would like to play your part in delivering immunisations to the Luton community, please consider applying to join our friendly team.
We are looking for nurses who can work flexibly, have excellent communications skills, enjoy working with a wide range of communities and individuals, and are passionate about promoting the health of others.
While previous experience of delivering vaccinations is useful, full training and induction will be offered to successful candidates.
