Job overview

We are looking for a Clinical Lead with a Prescribing qualification to support the Vaccination and Living Well service until 31 March 2026. The role will be connected to the Trust's vaccination hub in Cheshire West and also involves working across Cheshire and Merseyside on the Living Well Service bus clinic sessions as required.



If you are experienced in delivering seasonal vaccines, routine immunisations and health screening and would like to be part of this amazing team supporting our community, then we would love to hear from you.



This post is part time - 7.5 hours per week.

Main duties of the job

Our Clinical Leads oversee a small team of healthcare professionals and volunteers and will coordinate seasonal COVID-19 and flu vaccination clinics, provide a catch up offer for all UK routine immunisations and offer a range of physical health checks to targeted communities across Cheshire and Merseyside. You will provide clinical oversight to deliver mobile clinics, ensuring a safe, effective and accessible experience for people attending. You will use your prescribing qualification to ensure the service can provide a year round offer for individuals who require additional vaccine doses outside of seasonal campaigns.



Appropriate training and supervision will be provided to ensure the safety of staff, volunteers and patients.
