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 with previous research experience, or relevant academic background, who can help staff with report drafting and evidence gathering for HWC’s research projects. 

Who will the volunteers be working with?
Healthwatch Camden - Projects Lead

Time commitment

Volunteers are required for a minimum of 4hrs per week. Availability for community outreach visits is ad hoc depending on the volunteer’s preference. HWC informs volunteers about upcoming visits, and they can confirm which dates they can attend.
Application deadline

This organisation is one of our community partner organisations.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working to keep you safe and supported whilst you volunteer.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
