Tens of thousands of people are being sought to administer coronavirus vaccines across the country.

Teddington residents can now register their interest in joining the Covid-19 Vaccine Team. "Your contribution will be vital in fighting the pandemic in your community," the billing reads.

The job title is Covid-19 Vaccination Programme Vaccinator and it pays £11.20 an hour.

All vaccinators will receive training and their role will primarily be administering the jab into a person's shoulder muscle.

All roles will last between 3-6 months.
