Want To Do Something Different?

Healthwatch Hull have ten different volunteering roles available in a variety of areas to meet
the needs of our local community.

At the moment the opportunities are virtual-based due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however,
once things are operating normally, you could make a difference by being an:
• Enter and View Ambassador
Enter and View Ambassadors enter Health and Social Care premises and collect information about the nature and quality of services, the good practices and potential areas of improvement.
• Community Engagement Volunteer
Community Engagement Volunteers are vital to the Healthwatch mission as they are the face of Healthwatch and will actively promote the organisation within the community. They will reach out and engage with the community on their own terms, making sure to listen to their experiences and build their confidence by ensuring that their voices are heard.
• Volunteer Support Mentor
Healthwatch Volunteer Support Mentors are representatives of seldom heard groups and support Healthwatch by using their experience and influence to build confidence within these
groups. They will act as a mentor, assist and encourage the others to become involved in
Healthwatch, empowering them to share their experiences, promote the activities of Healthwatch and get involved in the work that is done.
• Sector Champion
Healthwatch Sector Champions are representatives of Voluntary Community Support (VCS) organisations, education establishments and private industry. They support Healthwatch by using their expertise and influence to build connections between Healthwatch, their organisations and clients. They will promote Healthwatch within their organisation and encourage their clients to become involved with Healthwatch, advertising the activities of Healthwatch and the work that they do.
