People who've lost their jobs in retail and hospitality are being urged to consider becoming carers during the coronavirus outbreak.

Social Care Wales said there were "urgent shortages" of care workers to help elderly, children and vulnerable people during the pandemic.

There are already over 400 jobs advertised on a new website, aimed at attracting people out of work due to bars, pubs, shops and leisure centres being shut down.

Chief executive Sue Evans said carers were a "lifeline for communities" during the pandemic and many people had transferable skills to be able to work in the sector.

"We need more people with the right skills to help, right now," she said.
