Clinical and non-clinical staff are also needed at Heartlands, Good Hope, Queen Elizabeth and Solihull hospitals, the University Hospitals NHS Trust has said.

All roles, including doctors, nurses and administration staff will involve working in "challenging situations as we provide the best care possible to all our patients at this difficult time," the trust added.

NHS Nightingale Birmingham will provide an additional facility for patients with Covid-19 in the Midlands, helping to ensure there is enough critical care capacity in acute settings to help the most seriously ill patients.

Some of the roles they are recruiting for include: doctors, registered nurses, allied health professionals, healthcare support workers, facilities staff and administration staff.
