Vaccination Volunteers needed for Priory House, Chicksands

Volunteers are playing a critical role in the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine programme. Can you help at the new vaccination centre at Priory House (Central Bedfordshire Council’s Head Office), Chicksands?

Volunteers are needed to undertake a range of roles, including:

• Car park marshals – outdoor and on foot.  Warm clothes necessary (also waterproof when rain is forecast).
• Front of House – meeting and greeting patients to check they have appointments, may also be outdoors
• Internal marshals – ensuring the flow of patients though the centre and monitoring the post-vaccination area (a seated area whereby patients wait for 15 mins before they leave).

Volunteers should be able to offer to undertake a minimum of 4 hour shifts. Rotas are covering 8am to 8pm, 7 days per week.

Volunteers who could commit to a pattern of shifts either weekly, fortnightly etc, are especially welcome.

Appropriate training, supervision and PPE will be provided to ensure the safety of staff, volunteers and patients.
