Looking for a varied and rewarding term‑time only role? We’re recruiting a part‑time Healthcare Support Worker (22.5 hours/week, term‑time only) to join our School Aged Immunisation Service, based in East Oxford Health Centre, working flexibly across the City and south of Oxfordshire.
We’re looking for a proactive, adaptable, and motivated individual with strong administration and clinical skills. We are also looking for experience working with children or young people, ideally in schools.
Flexibility is essential, with some early starts (from 07:30), evening/weekend work, and travel across Oxfordshire as needed.
To be eligible, applicants must meet at least one of the following:
* Trained and worked as a vaccinator in a COVID/vaccination centre
* Level 3+ on the NHS Careers Framework with a minimum of 2 years clinical experience working in NHS/Primary Care/Dental or Community Health Care settings
* Level 3+ and recent immunisation role experience
Please explain in your supporting statement how you meet one or more of these criteria.
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, as a Healthcare Support Worker, to administer the Flu vaccinations to young people following the supply of the vaccine by an appropriately registered healthcare professional.
You will also attend vaccination sessions to observe students who may feel unwell post‑vaccination. Full training will be provided.
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.
