We are seeking band 5 registered nurses who have carried out necessary training or are willing to complete the COVID-19/flu training (green book recommendations) to join this team - especially those available Monday to Friday.
Our roving vaccination team is commissioned to serve people in Liverpool and will run for five months. The hard-to-reach populations that we aim to vaccinate are people who generally cannot get into a vaccination centre. Those receiving priority are:
- Asylum seekers/refugees
- Care home residents
- Homeless people
- Housebound people
- People with learning disabilities
- People who are seriously mentally unwell
- The travelling community
- All others who primary care network areas have identified as having low or poor uptake of the vaccine/per ward/per area.
The roving team is operationally a team of two, with one documenting the consultation directly onto the clinical system and one vaccinating. We appreciate that services across the Trust are under pressure but this is an opportunity to gain new skills, work with different specialist nurses or even explore new career opportunities.
If you are interested in joining the team, please apply via Mersey Care’s bank by emailing: eRostering
