COUNTY Hall chiefs are looking for 150 people to help with its coronavirus test and trace programme.

Lancashire County Council is looking for community swabbers to do the tests and for community testing support officers to log the results and carry out admin functions and they will be paid positions and the work will take place at test sites across the county.

The successful applicants will get full training. Because they will come into contact with people displaying Covid-19 symptoms, full personal protective equipment will be provided.

Applicants will need to be able to get to the test sites and be aware of the current Covid-19 government guidelines. The community swabbers will need to safely administer nasal or throat swab tests.
