Job overview
Clinical Nurse Specialist – Vaccination & Inclusion Health Outreach Band 6
We are seeking an experienced registered nurse to join the Find&Treat Inclusion Health outreach service, leading the clinical delivery of vaccination programmes while working as a generalist inclusion health outreach nurse.
This role focuses on improving uptake of hepatitis B, influenza, COVID-19 and other indicated vaccinations among people experiencing homelessness, substance use, migration-related vulnerability and prison-experience. The post holder will deliver vaccination under PGDs or appropriate clinical frameworks and ensure safe cold-chain and governance compliance in community settings.
Main duties of the job
As part of a multidisciplinary team, the Clinical Nurse Specialist will:
·Deliver vaccination in outreach and community environments
·Undertake BBV and infection screening where appropriate
·Provide clinical assessment and brief intervention
·Support individuals into wider healthcare pathways including HIV, TB and hepatology services
·Work collaboratively with peer practitioners to improve engagement and uptake
·Contribute to audit, performance monitoring and service improvement
While vaccination is a core focus, this is a generalist inclusion health nursing role requiring flexibility across BBV and infectious disease pathways. The successful candidate will be NMC registered with experience in vaccination, infectious diseases, sexual health or inclusion health. Experience working in outreach or community-based services is highly desirable. The role involves travel across London and working in varied community environments.
