We are recruiting Community Outreach Volunteers
Community Outreach volunteers are at the heart of the work we do. Our Community Outreach volunteers are ‘out there’ talking and listening to patients, community members and/or people who use health and social care services. If you enjoy chatting to people, have good listening skills, a little bit of spare time and an interest in health and social care this could be the perfect role for you.
Why do we need you?
Healthwatch Enfield exists to ensure that needs of local people are at the heart of health and social care. We listen to what Enfield residents like about services, and what could be improved, and share it with those with the power to make change happen.
As a Community Outreach Volunteer you will play a key role in delivering our statutory function of listening to local people’s experiences of health and care services in Enfield.
What will you be doing?
In this varied role, you will be engaging with local people from all walks of life to listen to people’s views and experiences and to explain and promote work of Healthwatch Enfield. This will involve gathering feedback from Enfield residents through:
- attending “pop-up stalls” at different locations in the borough such as libraries, hospitals, GP practices and others
- conducting telephone interviews
- taking part in focus groups
- attending events organised by Healthwatch Enfield
- attending events organised by our partners i.e. Enfield Council, local NHS organisations and the voluntary and community sector groups
This is a flexible role and time commitment will be agreed with you depending on your availability however we would ask that you commit to half a day per week, as a minimum. Activities could take place during the day, the evening or the weekend.
