Liverpool-headquartered Covid-19 testing firm DAM Health has revealed plans to create more than 350 jobs in 2022.
The company already employs close to 1,000 people across all of its divisions in the UK and internationally across technical, customer service and office-based staff.
A significant part of the recruitment drive is for technical staff with almost 300 new staff required for its laboratories to meet the ongoing demand for antigen and PCR testing.

By the end of 2021 DAM Health will have a total of 12 labs operational in Manchester, Kent, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Hull, Cornhill, two in Fulham, Glasgow, Antrim, Harlow and the original Rose Lane site in Liverpool.
Liam Spence, director of partnerships and strategy, said: "Since we started with a handful of staff and one clinic we have grown to the present with an ever expanding business.
"We remain big investors in people across every facet of DAM Health and this new recruitment drive is helping us grow even further.
"We have our head quarters in Liverpool at The Spine, all of our labs and clinics across the UK and internationally and other areas of the business which are also growing rapidly.
"And we’ve not rested on our laurels either - we are actively researching some very exciting new ways for the business to diversify beyond Covid and the medical diagnostic world in which we plan to work in.
"We are also committed to finding the next generation of brilliant young scientific minds too, such as our just announced partnership with the Pandemic Institute and the launch of the Student Excellence Award bursary for PhD students in Liverpool across its three main universities.
"We are also working with Credersi who have created the world’s first virtual reality Covid-19 lab training syllabus."
The company started in Liverpool in November 2020 with one clinic and now has over 100 sites internationally.
