People across Norfolk and Waveney urged to join Covid Vaccine Team.

The NHS in Norfolk and Waveney is still on the hunt for thousands of vaccinators and support staff to help protect millions of people from COVID-19 quickly when a safe and effective vaccine becomes available.

By bolstering its workforce, the NHS will be able to offer the public potentially life-saving protection from coronavirus in a range of locations, focusing on the most at-risk groups first, whilst at the same time keeping A&Es, elective surgery, GPs and community services going.

Roles we are seeking to fill across Norfolk and Waveney include:

 · Clinical Operational Supervisors

· Registered Practitioners

· Immunisers

· Front of house receptionists

· Post-vaccination Observation Support Volunteers

Parliament recently changed the law to allow a wider group of people to undertake training to deliver vaccines e.g., paramedics, physios, pharmacists, dental professionals, and healthcare scientists. In all cases, appropriate training, supervision, and PPE will be provided to ensure the safety of staff, volunteers, and our patients.

Vaccinators and supporting staff and volunteers will potentially work across a range of different vaccine facilities, with local plans to be finalised when the details of approved vaccines are available and a decision on which groups should be the first to get it has been made by the Government.

If you’re interested in opportunities available across Norfolk and Waveney, we’d love to hear from you.
