Volunteer (Marshall) FAQ

Brighton Racecourse COVID Vaccination Site

Staff FAQs – Marshals

Where will I be working?

One of three places:

Car Park – so bring warm/waterproof clothes. Fluorescent jacket will be supplied.

Front Door – greet patients/carers and take their temperature and ask them some screening questions (have you had COVID symptoms etc).

Queue Management – guiding patients through the venue to the vaccination booth and out the other side to the monitoring area post-injection.

Is there parking on site for staff?

There is plenty of free parking on site, if it is dry we kindly ask staff to use the grass area in front of the main entrance and leave the tarmac car park at the back for patients and their carers.

Will I be tested for COVID before I work there?

Yes, we ask all staff to take a lateral flow test at the start of every clinic.

Will I also get a vaccination?

Practice staff should be being invited to book an appointment for a vaccination, please ask if you have not.

Is the clinic socially distanced?

Yes, the racecourse venue is very large and everything is set up to operate socially distanced. Marshals greeting patients inside will be wearing PPE and you will be asked to wear a mask for the duration of the clinic and maintain a two metre distance from patients and colleagues alike.

Do I get a meal break/tea break and do I need to bring my own drinks?

There is a staff rest area with a fridge and free tea/coffee/hot chocolate/squash and biscuits (sometimes fruit). You will be advised when you can take breaks.
