Examples of current volunteering roles
- Engagement volunteers - To improve care we need to understand people's experiences of using services and support. That's where our engagement volunteers come in. From attending community events to running online focus groups, you will play a crucial role in listening to what people want from health and social care services.
- Enter and View volunteers - To get a first hand look at how health and social care services are running we train some volunteers to go into services and ask people about their experiences of them, like a care home. This includes observing how the service runs, talking to patients, carers and staff, and contributing to a report about your visit.
- Communications volunteers - Do you love writing? Or perhaps you have a passion for social media? Our communications volunteers help raise awareness of who we are, promote our projects and surveys and create content for all our digital channels.

As a Healthwatch volunteer, I’ve enjoyed reading draft patient/carer leaflets produced by health and social care providers and having the opportunity make suggestions on how they will be easier to read and understand.
