Job overview
Immunisation Team Assistant SWL and SEL
Are you organised, great with people, and looking for a role that makes a real impact?
We’re looking for enthusiastic and proactive Immunisation Team Assistants to join our busy Children and Young People’s Community Immunisation Service.
This role is perfect if you enjoy a mix of admin work, people-facing tasks, and being part of a friendly, purpose-driven team.
Main duties of the job
What the role looks like:
Each day is different — and that’s part of what makes it rewarding. You might be:
- Out on the road helping the team run school-based immunisation clinics — managing class lists, helping organise pupils, and keeping things on track.
- Back in the office answering phone calls, texting appointment reminders, or chasing up consent forms.
- Supporting the team with stock ordering and equipment checks.
- Speaking to schools and parents to confirm clinic dates and share information.
- Entering accurate data and keeping our admin systems up to date.
You’ll be the admin backbone of the service — keeping everything organised so the clinical team can focus on what they do best.
A bit about you:
- You’re confident on the phone and happy talking to a range of people — from busy school staff to concerned parents.
- You’re calm under pressure and can keep things moving in lively, sometimes noisy, environments (school halls can get loud!).
- You’re a team player but can also work independently and manage your own tasks.
- You’ve got basic IT skills and are comfortable learning new systems.
- You’re flexible and happy to travel across your borough for school and clinic visits (you’ll usually be based in your local borough office when not out and about).
