Are you ready to lead, inspire and make a real impact on public health?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Charge Nurse to join our Central Vaccination Service and help shape the future of vaccination delivery across the Dundee area.
As part of NHS Tayside’s Public Health Directorate, the Central Vaccination Service sits at the forefront of public health and prevention, delivering essential vaccination programmes that protect communities across Tayside.

This is your opportunity to step into a key leadership role within a fast-paced, high-impact service, where you will:
- Lead and coordinate day-to-day clinic operations across Dundee

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a Charge Nurse Immuniser, you will be a confident and compassionate leader who can support and motivate teams. You will be able to thrive in a busy, evolving service environment, and be comfortable managing workforce situations with professionalism and empathy.
Preferred Candidate Profile
The preferred candidate will be a Registered Nurse or Midwife with current UK NMC registration and a strong commitment to leadership and service excellence. As part of a Tayside-wide service, there may be an occasional requirement to support adjacent areas; therefore, you must have the ability to travel independently throughout Tayside.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your leadership journey and make a genuine impact on the health of the people of Tayside - we would love to hear from you.
