Covid Testers

As a result of the rollout of mass Covid-19 testing in schools, Protocol Education are seeking reliable and flexible Covid-19 Test Assistants to support schools in the smooth running of the programme.

The role will involve supervising students and teachers as they self-administer Covid-19 tests and providing support and guidance where needed. You will complete a wide range of general daily tasks related to Covid-19 testing including handing out and collecting self-testing kits, recording results, organising queues, cleaning the test site, as well as ensuring that the testing site is well set up and running efficiently during the day.

Each school site is run differently, and this is a new role for schools so flexibility, reliability and being able to calmly think on your feet within a team environment are crucial. The role will also involve being responsible for the disposal of medical and biohazard waste. Training and PPE will be provided.

Successful applicants MUST have:
- experience administering COVID-19 tests
- a conscientious and professional approach to work
- excellent communication skills, with both adults and children
- an understanding of Covid-19 safety measures
- a current DBS certificate, that is on the Update Service

To carry out this role you must not be, or live with anyone, who is classified as belonging to any of the COVID-19 high risk groups, have a long-term condition or have immune deficiencies through medical conditions or therapy.
