Contact tracing service is recruiting

The North Wales Contact Tracing Service is recruiting.

A spokesperson for the service said: "We will all be concerned to see the significant increases in Covid-19 infection rates over recent weeks and the spectre of the new variant of the virus.

"The roll out of the second vaccine has given us hope and a glimpse of light through the trees, but we are not out of the woods yet. 

"Contact tracing is a tried and tested method of controlling the spread of infectious diseases and it will continue to be a critical tool in our fight against the virus for some months to come.  

"It has been a very busy Christmas and New Year period for our Test Trace Protect team and they have been working hard to keep people safe and limit the spread of COVID-19. 

"We need people to join our teams of contact tracers and advisors, to make contact with residents across Wales who have tested positive for COVID-19 and the people they have been in contact with.

"If you are looking for a new job, a new challenge or simply want to do your bit to help during the pandemic we want to hear from you now."
