Staff needed for St Helens' mass Covid vaccination programme

The NHS is undertaking a massive recruitment drive to help it deliver the largest vaccination programme in its history.

As part of the Covid-19 vaccination programme, community vaccination centres will be set up across the region.

Saints’ Totally Wicked Stadium is the first community vaccination centre to open in Cheshire and Merseyside, and currently needs a range of roles filling.

Mass vaccination clinics coordinated by the borough’s GPs have been running at the stadium since Wednesday, and are expected to be operating well into next year, subject to availability of the vaccine.

A number of other vaccination centres are due to be announced within the region in the coming weeks.

Each centre will require a range of staff to fulfil a variety of roles and duties to ensure the successful delivery of the vaccine to their local area.
