An NHS mental health trust has issued an urgent appeal for temporary workers to help during the coronavirus crisis.
The East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) is offering flexible, short-term work across its community and mental health services for people with healthcare qualifications and for administrators, healthcare assistants, cleaners and housekeepers.
Applications are being fast-tracked so workers can start in days rather than weeks, and new starters will also be paid weekly.
“The NHS is facing an unprecedented challenge because of the coronavirus crisis,” said the trust’s CEO Dr Navina Evans.
“Every single colleague wearing an NHS badge is remarkable in my eyes – and we need more outstanding individuals to help us protect and care for the sick and the vulnerable.”
