Stewarding support volunteers for Covid-19 vaccination clinics
VODA is recruiting non-clinical volunteer stewards to support the health professionals to help with the smooth running of the North Tyneside Covid vaccination sites to help ensure the safety of the people attending and working there.
The volunteering roles include helping to steward people safely round the centres and take the role of door attendants to help manage the flow of people, ensure people are wearing masks and using hand sanitiser. They are looking for people who are calm, patient and reliable and are able to spare some time to help out. Sign up here.
