About the Role

As an Immunisation Nurse, you’ll be at the heart of protecting community health across Essex.

• Promote health education and awareness, helping families make informed choices
• Safeguard vulnerable children and families by following local safeguarding and child protection procedures
• Maintain accurate immunisation records that strengthen service planning and outcomes
