COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Registered Health Care Professional (RHCP) - Clinical Supervisor

The COVID-19 vaccination programme is well established. Apply now to help support the programme.

As a COVID-19 Clinical Supervisor you will be responsible for overseeing a team of Immunisers.

You will be responsible for:
  • Supervising clinical assessments of patients prior to vaccination
  • Supporting the reviews of complex medical histories, any potential adverse reactions and offering specialist advice as needed.
  • Ensuring the vaccination station, from set up to running the station, complies with relevant procedures
  • Clinical supervision of safe immunisations
  • Supervision of drawing up and preparation of the vaccine before administration and ensuring that each vaccine activity is recorded.
  • Delivery of the safe immunisation service and assisting any agreed changes needed within the setting and service areas.
  • Ensuring the best possible clinical outcomes by using up-to-date skills and adhering to policies and procedures

This opportunity is offered on a bank basis, but is envisaged as being ongoing work for a number of months. If you already work for the Workforce Bureau, please access the online form you can find in the Workforce Bureau staff newsletter rather than apply here.

These roles will be operated by the Covid 19 Vaccination Workforce Bureau which is supporting Primary Care Networks, NHS sites and services and Community Pharmacies who are responsible for delivering the vaccination programme.

The Covid 19 Vaccination Workforce Bureau is hosted by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.

We are committed to providing the best care that we can to our patients. Some roles involve a Maths and English assessment. Where this is so, details will be shared with you in the recruitment process.

Details of our benefits, leadership behaviours and other important information are contained in the documents linked to our advert.

It is a statutory requirement for roles that involve work in care homes that staff are up to date with their Covid vaccination status to be able to work in that environment, unless the person has a valid medical exemption. Where a role requires this, they will need to demonstrate that they meet this requirement during the recruitment process. The regulations will apply to health and social care workers who have direct, face-to-face contact with people while providing care from 1st April 2022.

For rostered areas, these are set in advance at a team level and you will join an established roster. Your rostered shifts will be confirmed to you when arranging your start date.

We will consider requests to work alternative hours or vary working patterns in line with our flexible working policy.

To make the most of your application, we may consider appointable applicants for similar vacancies in different locations where this is appropriate and meets our mutual requirements.

For all substantive roles new staff (excluding medical staff) are appointed subject to a 6 month probationary period (see Probation Policy).

We aim to develop a workforce that reflects our community. We actively implement equal opportunities in employment and service delivery and seek people who share our commitment. We strongly encourage applications from all sections of the community, particularly from underrepresented groups.

All jobs will require permission to work in the UK.

For all jobs the cost of any DBS disclosure required will be met by the individual. This will be deducted from salary once started.

Applicants 'at risk' within the local NHS who meet essential criteria will have preference for interview.
