About this role
Job summary
The LCHS School Age Immunisation Service is commissioned to deliver all vaccinations to the school aged population across Lincolnshire. An exciting opportunity has now arisen for a skilled, motivated individual with relevant experience to support service delivery of these programmes.
This is for a part time vacancy based at Beech House in Lincoln.
As a member of the team you will be expected to work flexibly across the county to deliver the immunisation and vaccination programmes under the direction of the Professional Advisor for School Age Immunisations.
Main duties of the job
Reporting to the Senior Administrators, you will be responsible for providing day to day effective and efficient administration support, with a large part of the duties being data input, contacting schools and ensuring requests are responded to in a timely manner.
Experience of working in a busy environment is essential, alongside the management of records, establishing strong relationships, and delivering effective administrative processes within tight deadlines and maintaining confidentiality at all times.
Additionally, due to the increasing size of the Flu programme, you will be trained and competency assessed to deliver the nasal flu vaccine to children under the direct supervision of a registered nurse working within a patient group direction.
This post requires that you have the ability to travel between locations to carry out your work and to attend training and meetings; daily access to transport is therefore essential.
