Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information available by contacting [email protected] where you can also find out more about how to access vaccinations. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
