Healthwatch Camden
We are a valuable voice in health and social care in Camden. We give out information and advice and champion equality for local people. We have the power to influence the delivery and design of local services, and work in partnership with local organisations. We help shape local services not just for the people who use them, but also for anyone who might need to in future.
Description

Healthwatch Camden provides a collective voice for health and social care users in Camden. We collaborate with the voluntary and community sector to disseminate information, gather views and experience. In partnership with other local organisations, we also undertake focused research and gather evidence. We use this evidence to influence local policy.

HWC relies on volunteers to help carry out our functions. We aim to provide meaningful opportunities for local people to contribute their time and skills to the community and play an active role in improving health services in Camden. Volunteers receive valuable work experience whilst also having a say on what happens to health and social care services in Camden.

Duties

Volunteers visit local community venues and events on outreach visits to raise awareness of Healthwatch Camden and it’s work among residents. This role involves interacting with residents to listen to their feedback and concerns about their health, signpost them onto relevant support in the Borough, and act as the eyes and ears of HWC by keeping us informed about people’s views and experiences of health and social care services.

Who will the volunteers be working with?
