Band 5

The statutory requirement to be fully Covid-19 vaccinated as a condition of employment from April 2022 is subject to legislative review.

The successful applicant may have contact with vulnerable service users and we will therefore seek proof of being fully vaccinated or exemption during the recruitment process. 

As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination uptake as this remains the best line of defence against COVID19.
