Are you passionate about health and social care?

Healthwatch Plymouth volunteers play a vital role in helping to ensure that we gather the issues that matter to help improve local health and social care services.

As a truly independent charitable organisation, we rely heavily on our fantastic volunteers to help achieve this, and could not do it without their valued help in helping to promote Healthwatch Plymouth within the local community.

All volunteers, even if they only spend an hour supporting us, will be given the necessary training, support and expenses – and you could even have the chance have your say in how Healthwatch Plymouth is run as an organisation if you wish.

Healthwatch Plymouth’s volunteers are at the core of all our work, carrying out many crucial roles. They are vital in listening to the public and patients and representing their views to health and social care leaders and professionals. Healthwatch Plymouth is seeking volunteers for the following roles:

  • Healthwatch Representative                    
  • Events Volunteer                                    
  • Healthwatch Lay Member
  • Enter and View Representative                
  • Healthwatch Researcher                      
  • Healthwatch Champion  
  • Information Assistant                                
  • Media & Communication                    
  • Office / Administration 
If you are interested in being involved with Healthwatch Plymouth we would love to hear from you.

We are always keen to involve people interested in volunteering with us and there are a variety of ways you can help; from ‘Enter and View’ Inspections and ‘PLACE’ Assessments to taking surveys, attending events and even answering phones and speaking with the public direct – you can help us to really make a difference.
