Working at the Vaccination Hub at The Northern General Hospital, my role is to help oversee the vaccination process and manage a team of admin staff, working in a busy and demanding environment.I would give thorough training to all staff on shifts, motivating them to do their best and giving them guidance when needed, along with supporting the nursing team with the various bespoke I.T systems. All whilst whilst working some of the busiest clinics the hospital had seen to date and at times under extreme pressure.There would be regular meetings and 1-2-1’s with the Operations Manager and the performance team, often being told information that was both sensitive and confidential, so integrity placed a huge part in the role.

Working on behalf of the NHS shielding time I was responsible for making calls to those who were classed as vulnerable through the covid-19 lockdown. I would make calls to the vulnerable ensuring that that their basic care and wellbeing needs were taken care of as well as ensuring that they had enough food in the house and ways of getting food on a regular basis. At times I would be talking to patients who were extremely distressed, angry, and upset and who perhaps didn't have a great understanding as to what was happening so extra time would be needed to explain this to them and also to just be a friendly voice to those who may have been left alone with no family / friends to communicate with. I made it my duty to give them all my undivided attention and give my time to those who needed it. After a short time with the shielding team I was selected to be moved onto the council team.
