The Contact Tracer will form part of a team of Contact Tracers who will normally provide the first point of contact of cases of COVID-19 (i.e. the people who have just received a positive lab result).
They will work in collaboration with Health Board Health Protection Contact Tracers working across Scotland undertaking contact tracing activities of COVID-19 cases which are more complex in nature. The Contact Tracer will provide support to cluster investigations when cases are assigned by the Contact Tracing Team Manager.
They will deal with calls throughout the day with COVID-19 cases and their contacts, ensuring that all information is recorded accurately on the Case Management System and escalated where required. They will also identify where there are clusters or patterns of COVID 19.
If you feel you have what it takes, to thrive on new challenges, have attention to detail while being able to contribute to improvement activities that enhance and develop the contact tracing service this could be the role for you.
Applications on a secondment basis will be considered providing you have prior agreement from your current line manager.
