Volunteers are need to help at the Covid-19 vaccination clinic at the Atrium Health Centre in Dorchester.

People are needed to help with the smooth running of the programme, starting on Saturday, January 16, to help on the day of clinics and for there to be a bank of helpers the team can call on as the vaccinations are rolled out.

Volunteers will assist in a marshalling capacity and are invited to register via email at [email protected]. Please provide your name and contact phone number.

General tasks volunteers are needed for include:

• Directing traffic in the car park and across the road

• Welcoming and sign posting people into the waiting area

• Reminding people of social distancing guidelines

• Ensuring face coverings are worn

• Directing people to hand sanitising stations

• Generally assisting staff to ensure that the clinic runs as smoothly as possible

Appropriate training, ID badges and PPE will be provided, though you can use your own if you prefer.

Shifts will be two hours plus arrival 15 minutes before the start time.

If you can help out, please register as soon as possible.
