One of the good things about BREXIT, the Government has to publish new job roles on its site. Before, it would use a third-party EU run tendering website to hide an appointment like this.
From UK Gov's add, I've archived the link for future reference: https://archive.li/CpPe8
NOTE THE DATE, THIS IS A NEW POST
The Vaccines and Countermeasures Response Department is part of the National Infection Service Directorate. It is concerned with the procurement and supply of vaccines for the Immunisation Programme and the national stockpiles, vaccine agreements and storage and distribution requirements for pandemic flu preparedness and emergency response planning. This includes the budget management and financial accounting in relation to these arrangements.
The Vaccine Operations team deals with all aspects of the procurement and distribution of vaccines, immunoglobulins, antivenoms and antitoxins for the national immunisation programme and for urgent use within the NHS, across the 4 nations of the UK.
The role of Vaccine Supply Operations Lead is a new post to support the operations, providing accurate and timely reports for a range of stakeholders during what is expected to be the UK’s largest vaccination programme which will be delivered at pace and will be a key Ministerial priority. The role will be directly responsible for the daily operational management of all covid related products, ensuring their timely distribution across the UK, Crown Dependencies, and Overseas Territories.
The UK Government expects "UK’S LARGEST VACCINATION PROGRAMME" to be a FUTURE event. And the post is being recruited for URGENTLY. I love there is a '666' in the job reference.
