We are looking for volunteers to help us be the eyes and ears on care in Cambridgeshire.
You'll help us listen to local people and find out what they think about the health and care services in their community.
You may be working with our engagement team on display stands at local events, giving out Healthwatch information, visiting local groups or perhaps helping us share what people are saying on local social media.
You'll be recording what people tell you - whether it is good, bad or a bit of both - and sending this back to us to share with the people who make decisions about local services.
What's in it for you?
As a Community Listener volunteer, you'll get to meet people and help improve services in your community.
It's also an opportunity to learn new skills that could be a stepping stone into employment or training. We can provide references for those completing a project or volunteering for three months or more.
You'll need to:
- Feel comfortable and confident talking to people who may have a difficult story to share
- Have good listening skills
- Record what you hear clearly and accurately
- Be non-judgemental
- Be committed to promoting equality and diversity
