Vaccination & Immunisation / Health Protection Nurse

As one of our Vaccination & Immunisation/Health Protection Nurses you will undertake vaccinations and testing interventions in a wide variety of locations across the Health Board and including as a lone worker when required. Such settings will include all key health and Social Care sites; community vaccination and testing centres; a wide range of Primary Care and community clinic locations as well as Care Homes. We also offer a service to our housebound patients and clients. Our programmes of work will target all population ages from our very youngest citizens right through to the young at heart. The overseeing of population health checks, ensuring patients are signposted according to local pathways, along with duties aligned with the work of the overarching Health Protection function are all important elements of the role.

These posts will be of interest to highly motivated nurses who can demonstrate a positive and enthusiastic commitment to population health protection. Successful applicants will work flexibly across the Health Board providing the highest standard of vaccination, immunisation and testing services to both our general public and also our staff who live and work in Cwm Taf Morgannwg.
