Healthcare professionals are being asked to help administer the Covid-19 vaccines in Rutland.
Any registered healthcare professional can help after doing training, which is mostly online.
Retired professionals can join a temporary register up to five years after they have left the permanent register.
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is recruiting staff on behalf of the local NHS.
Anne Scott, director of nursing, allied health professionals and quality said:
“We are looking for staff who are registered healthcare professionals, or could easily re-register. This includes a wide range of professions such as physiotherapists, pharmacists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists as well as nurses and doctors.
“We will be offering full and part-time work over the next few months. You will be very welcome.
“Staff who have already been involved in the programme have said it is hugely rewarding to help deliver vaccines which protect life, and will help the country return to normal.”
We are also looking for administrative staff to welcome patients and to help ensure accurate records are kept for members of the public receiving the vaccination.
They are also looking for volunteers to help patients at the vaccination sites.
