Dublin jobs: HSE recruiting Covid-19 swabbers with no healthcare experience necessary

The HSE are recruiting "community swabbers" in a number of Dublin Covid-19 test centres.

The Sandyford, Citywest and Finglas centres are all hiring and applicants don't need any prior healthcare experience.

The HSE said in the job post that those hired will "receive full training to carry out the job".

They said: "If you are good with dealing with people, enjoy working in a procedure based busy environment and can work in a physical job with lots of movement and standing- please apply."

The closing date for applicants is Friday, November 26 at noon.

Those hired will "take swabs from the nose and throat of persons who have been referred for testing as they may have COVID-19".

There is also an administrative element to the job which "includes confirming patient details, labelling tubes, packaging swabs- attention to detail is important in this role."

The job description also says that "maintaining confidentiality is an important part of the role".
