Furloughed Virgin Atlantic staff are to be fast-tracked into support roles at NHS vaccination centres.

Support comes from parent Virgin Group and partner Delta

Cabin crew, pilots, ground and office-based teams – some of whom are medically trained – are set to work with the NHS over the coming months to assist with the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine. 

The NHS is offering a fast-track application process for Virgin staff, who will undergo training before being deployed in mass and local vaccination facilities. Roles will be paid as well as voluntary.
