In Somerset, the Healthwatch service is hosted by The Advocacy People, who would be your employer. The Advocacy People and Healthwatch share core values which are all about people’s voices: empowering people to speak up; amplifying service user voices; enabling people to participate in, and influence decision-making about health and social care; and provide information which helps people make informed decisions.

We are looking for someone with the creativity and enthusiasm to engage with people and take their experience of health and care services to help improve and shape services across Somerset.
This role is initially fixed term to 31st March 2028 but with a view to becoming permanent. Ideally, we are looking for someone with experience of working collaboratively in a team in a health or social care role, with great communication and organising skills. The role is home-based with frequent travel within Somerset, attending meetings and events.

This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who wants to see their work make a real difference. You will take projects from initial idea through to delivery—gathering evidence, building trusted relationships and turning what you hear into clear findings, practical recommendations and compelling reports.
Co-production and co-design will be at the heart of your work. You will work alongside residents, people with lived experience and community partners from the outset, ensuring they have a meaningful role in shaping project questions, research methods, activities, materials, findings and recommendations.
We are interested in what you can do—not simply where you gained your experience. You might be an experienced project or social research professional, a postgraduate student ready to apply your skills in a practical setting, or someone whose expertise has developed through community leadership, voluntary work or lived experience. What matters is that you are curious, organised and proactive, can build trust with people from different backgrounds, and have the drive to turn ideas into well-managed projects that create change.
