Volunteer for us and help improve health and care services for local people.
We are looking for volunteers to help us listen to the experiences of local people and understand what care is like for them -- especially those whose voices aren’t always heard.
As a Healthwatch volunteer, you'll get to meet new people and develop skills and insights into health and care services.
We offer full training and support all backed by the Investing in Volunteers UK quality standard for good practice in volunteer management.
Hear First-Hand Experiences from Healthwatch Volunteers
Wondering what it’s like to be part of our team? We invite you to listen to our Volunteering podcast episode, where our dedicated volunteers share their personal experiences and stories.
Join us as a Community Listener
As a Community Listener volunteer, you'll help us find out what the people in your community think about the health and care services they use.
We are actively recruiting for Community Listeners in Fenland, East Cambs and Huntingdonshire (you must be a resident to apply).
Your experience, skills and enthusiasm will help make sure people have a say on vital services - and that their voices get heard by decision-makers.
We will give you training and support in your volunteer role, as well as paying agreed out of pocket expenses.
Become a Young Healthwatch (Youthwatch) Volunteer
We are keen to hear from young people between the ages of 14 to 25 years who are interested in local health and care services – that could be your school nurse, your GP, your local hospital, or any support services you use. We want to give you a voice to help shape your local services to suit your needs now and in the future.
Join us as a Community Researcher
As a Healthwatch Community Researcher, you will talk to local people about services, including those provided by hospitals located in the areas covered by the project, and help organisations work better together for people.
*We are not currently recruiting for this role - recruitment will resume shortly.*
Become an Information and Signposting Feedback Volunteer
We are looking for friendly, compassionate volunteers to help us gather feedback from people who’ve used our Information and Signposting service. This service helps local people find the support they need with health, care, and wellbeing. Your role will help us understand what works well and what we could do better.
Become a Healthwatch Representation Volunteer
The Representation Volunteer role involves attending Integrated Neighbourhood meetings on behalf of Healthwatch, helping people to understand the role of our organisation and collecting information from these meetings to feed back to our team. You will be the eyes and ears and represent the patient voice of people in your community, helping to relate their experiences.
We are recruiting for one position only - this is in the North and you would need to be a resident in the Fenland/South Fens area.
