The City & County of San Francisco is seeking volunteer Disaster Service Workers (VDSW) to assist with its response to COVID-19 (coronavirus).
Currently, we are actively recruiting Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners and Physicians who have a valid, active, and in good standing medical license for the State of California to serve as VDSWs. We are also seeking non-clinical volunteers to assist with the clerical and operational needs of medical facilities. All VDSWs are deployed based upon City needs, as well as identified skills and/or your specific license(s) you possess.
These are examples of current deployment opportunities:
- COVID Testers to serve at City mobile and pop-up testing sites throughout the City. Testers will administer swab tests for COVID
- Clinical support in alternate treatment and health care centers providing clinical support and testing to COVID positive or potentially positive patients
- Clinical Screeners to provide support in Clinic operations, e.g. taking temperature and ensuring social distancing requirements for the public accessing clinics (clinical backgrounds are desired, but an active medical license is not required for this role)
- COVID Testing Site Greeters to efficiently greet, monitor and control the vehicular traffic throughout the facility
