Our workforce has been a great asset to us during this period, showing real determination, commitment, and flexibility to continue to meet the ever-changing needs of the programme. However, we have appreciated that some of our workforces have now needed to return to their substantive positions and/or have decided to now enjoy their retirement having offered their skills and contribution.
As we move into our next phase of the programme, we continue to increase our capability to deliver even more vaccinations through our Mass Vaccination Centres, Local Vaccination Centres, Roving Models and indeed our schools. We therefore require your support, expertise, and commitment to perform the role of a Clinical Supervisor.
This is a rolling advert to provide support to the Vaccination Programme. Applications will be shortlisted as they are submitted.
