COVID Support Team

Can you help us in our response to COVID-19?

We are continuing to respond and meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and have successfully continued to deliver services to the people in the Borough as well as supporting additional measures to control the virus, such as community testing and contact tracing.

In order to build capacity and resilience in our response to COVID-19, we are seeking to  establish a COVID Support Team to support delivery across all COVID-19 operations.

We are looking to recruit a number of COVID Support Assistants and COVID Support Officers, on temporary 6 month contracts, to join the Team who can be deployed across the organisation and across the services supporting our response to COVID-19 including:

• Contact tracing
• Providing support to our testing sites and testing processes
• Advice and engagement on control of the virus with local businesses and members of the public
• Working with our Public Health, regulatory and enforcement teams.

We would love to hear from you if you are:

• Customer focussed
• Committed to supporting our residents in the response to covid
• Good at working as part of a team
• Willing to adapt and undertake different tasks and responsibilities
• Willing to undertake any training and development required in the role

We will provide any training and development that is required to undertake the job roles as well as offering an opportunity to work with other teams and services across the Council. We also offer attractive employee benefits and support  including 26 days holiday per annum and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
