Alongside the main Whittington Hospital, they have 30 community locations in the north London boroughs of Islington and Haringey. A fantastic team of more than 4,400 specialist staff also support the boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Camden, maintaining a professional and highly personable approach to all their patients.

Role Overview:

Whittington Health is seeking motivated and compassionate Registered Nurses to join our Vaccination Programme on a bank basis. This role will support the delivery of the seasonal COVID-19 and influenza vaccination campaign across our local boroughs, contributing to the protection of vulnerable populations within the community.

The successful candidates will work as part of a community-based vaccination team, delivering safe, effective, and patient-centred care to care home residents and housebound individuals. The role requires a high degree of autonomy, including lone working and travel between patient homes.

  • Prepare, transport, and manage vaccination equipment and consumables
  • Accurately document patient and vaccine data using the Record a Vaccination System (RAVS)

  • Maintain strict adherence to infection prevention, control, and safety protocols

Requirements:

  • Registered Nurse Band 5 with valid NMC registration
  • Up-to-date training in Anaphylaxis Management and Basic Life Support (BLS)
  • Excellent attention to detail in clinical practice and documentation
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, particularly when supporting vulnerable or anxious patients
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, community setting
  • Physically able to carry vaccination equipment between patient visits
  • Competent in the use of navigation tools and basic IT systems
  • Previous vaccination experience is desirable but not essential

Bank Staff are invaluable to us and in return for their dedication and commitment, we offer the following benefits:

  • Priority of shifts over an agency worker, accommodating your availability
  • A dedicated recruitment team to ensure you can work as quickly as possible
  • A dedicated compliance team that ensures you remain compliant to work
