An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated Registered Nurse to join the Powys Immunisation and Vaccination Service, based in Bronllys, working across Mid and South Powys.

You will play a key role in delivering immunisation and vaccination programmes that protect and improve the health of local communities. Vaccinations are delivered in a range of settings, including vaccination centres, community hospitals, care homes and outreach clinics.

Working alongside Lead Nurses and Clinical Supervisors, you will provide safe, evidence-based, person-centred care. The role includes clinical assessment, vaccine administration in line with national guidance, promoting vaccine confidence, supporting health promotion activities, and providing day-to-day support to Healthcare Support Worker Immunise rs.

The ability to travel independently to vaccination sites across Powys is essential.
