Job overview

6 Months School Term Time Only Contract - End Date March 2026

Support Health. Keep Things Running. Make a Difference.

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 in Lewisham .

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).

Working for our organisation

What we offer:

· A supportive, friendly team who’ll make sure you feel part of things from day one.

· Induction, on-the-job training and away days with other admin colleagues.

· A meaningful role where you’ll see the difference you make every day — helping young people stay healthy and services run smoothly.

· Term-time working with regular hours — perfect for those who like a predictable routine with some variety.

We’re recruiting in multiple boroughs across South London, including: Kingston and Richmond, Lambeth and Southwark, Merton and Sutton, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley, Bromley, Wandsworth, and Croydon.
