Healthwatch Waltham Forest is the independent champion for people who use health and social care services in our community. We listen to residents' views and experiences, and use this insight to influence decision-makers and drive positive changes. Our Enter and View volunteers play a vital role in visiting local services to observe, engage, and report on the quality of care being provided.
Our work is crucial because it helps to ensure that health and social care services are effective, equitable, and truly responsive to the needs of the community. By gathering firsthand accounts from service users, we can identify what is working well and where improvements are needed, directly impacting the quality of care and support in Waltham Forest.
We seek passionate individuals who are committed to improving health and social care services. Our ideal volunteers are empathetic, curious, and comfortable engaging with a diverse range of people. If you have lived experience with health or care services and a desire to make a positive impact, you’ll fit right in with our team.
What sets us apart is our unique role as an independent champion with the power to influence change directly. Our volunteers are not just observers; they are active participants in shaping the future of health and social care in Waltham Forest. By joining us, you become part of a team that makes a tangible difference in people's lives.
