Community Nurse - Adult Vaccination Programme

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

Glasgow City HSCP is expanding its capacity to deliver care and treatments in more appropriate community-based settings, reducing reliance on general practice. This includes supporting the Vaccination Programme, which is coordinated at NHSGGC Board level, with the HSCP overseeing local implementation.

The Immunisation and Injections Team works in collaboration with Public Health, General Practice, and partner agencies to help address health inequalities and improve access to care.

You will be supporting the Team Lead and wider team in delivering a safe, effective, and person-centred service.
