Contract: Permanent

North Devon Travel Clinic is an established dedicated travel health clinic specialising in providing pre-travel advice, information and immunisations to the general public and also in providing a private vaccination/injection and blood testing service for other non-travel related reasons.

We are looking to recruit a part-time Travel Health Advisor to work in our Barnstaple clinic. The job will involve working 4 hours every other Saturday morning. It would also be possible to increase the number of hours of work to include one day in the week, this would likely be a Monday or Friday and could be within school hours if this is preferrable. This role would suit a practice nurse who may have experience in travel health as part of their current role in a GP surgery, or those with travel health experience previously.

You will be responsible for carrying out individualised risk assessments for travellers, providing up to date, evidence-based information, advice and education on travel health and immunisations to clients of the travel clinic and you will assist with the maintenance of quality standards within the clinic. You will also advise on occupational and non-travel vaccinations, take blood samples for travel or occupation purposes.

You will be a Registered Nurse. Some experience of giving injections is essential, and immunisation experience is desirable, however full training will be provided, tailored to the individual's need. Excellent oral and communication skills are required as is the ability to relate to a wide range of people and explain information simply.

Effective interpersonal skills are essential as you will be networking and communicating with clients at all levels. You should have an understanding of and a commitment to providing high standards of client care. You must also be confident to work independently in the clinic as this will be a requirement after the training and assessment period is complete. A nurse prescriber qualification is also desirable but not essential.

If you would like any further details regarding the posts please contact Julie Huxtable (Manager) or Dr Gemma Heard (Medical Director) at the Tarka Clinic on 01271 373346
