Now, it seems, they do need people with medical qualifications to be part of Track and Trace. They're going to be called Clinical Contact Caseworkers, paid £17.35 an hour (£22.55 at weekends) to work from home on the phone. Responsibilities include:

• Undertaking the initial interview of COVID-19 positive cases by phone
• Conducting a public health risk assessment
• Identifying contacts and providing public health advice (where appropriate)
• Using your clinical knowledge to help escalate complex cases
• Working within recognised procedures, scripts and structures, with support

Above these Caseworkers will sit Test and Trace Team Leaders, on £21.50 to £34.20 an hour.  Unless Matt Hancock redefines "mid-" and this utterance "We’re rolling out in mid-May", it ought to be all systems go this week.
