Job description

Healthwatch

Healthwatch was set up in 2013 to champion the rights of health and social care users and hold the health and social care system to account for how well it engages with the public. Its remit covers all publicly funded health and social care services for adults and children.

Healthwatch’s remit covers all publicly funded health and social care services for adults and children.

The Advocacy Project delivers Healthwatch services in Kensington & Chelsea, Brent and Westminster – three of 152 local Healthwatch organisations. We’re building on the important work that’s been done to date, while bringing new insights from the voices of seldom heard and radicalised communities.

Future of Healthwatch

There are plans to abolish the local Healthwatch network with the implementation of the new NHS 10-year plan and NHS Bill. However, we are committed to delivering the best service for residents until that time and build a strong, lasting legacy.

About the role

The role is to lead the work of Healthwatch Kensington & Chelsea, working with a small skilled staff team and a range of volunteers and other community stakeholders. In particular, you will share our commitment to embed user engagement and community development at the heart of the Healthwatch service model, empowering user voices and improving access to health services.  We are looking for someone who can bring a thorough understanding of the health system and project management with the ability to deliver results quickly including  leading on the planning and delivery of targeted projects, supporting a diverse and varied engagement programme, and building relationships with a range of strategic partners. The Healthwatch Manager (Kensington & Chelsea) also takes the lead on managing our local Advisory Board.  You will work closely with the Healthwatch teams in Westminster and Brent.

Key responsibilities

  • Ensure Healthwatch Kensington & Chelsea’s work conforms to all required principles, objectives and statutory obligations, and meets all contractual requirements between The Advocacy Project and RBKC Council. 
  • Manage and motivate a small staff team to deliver an effective and vibrant local Healthwatch.
  • Provide leadership to make sure the patient and public voice is heard across health, social care, children’s and other sectors in a continuously changing external environment. 
  • Support the effective working of the Healthwatch Kensington & Chelsea Advisory Board.
  • Ensure local communities are able to participate fully in our work, particularly those that are least likely to have had their voices listened to. Support these communities in influencing local and national policy. 
  • Represent Healthwatch Kensington & Chelsea at strategic governance and external meetings with key stakeholders, liaising with nominated Board leads regularly.
  • Develop the service to respond to emerging trends and needs, keeping abreast of Healthwatch England best practice to continually enhance the quality of the service.
  • Monitor the service to make sure it delivers to time, budget and quality; provide reports evidencing this to key stakeholders, including local commissioners, Healthwatch Advisory Board, the Bi-borough Health and Wellbeing Board and Healthwatch England.
  • Develop effective partnerships with key staff in health and social care services.
  • Work with the communications and engagement lead to make sure all relevant internal and external stakeholders receive relevant, timely and up-to-date communication about all Healthwatch projects.
  • Work with the Healthwatch Service Manager and Head of Business Development to identify opportunities for funding additional work which will add value to our Healthwatch services.

General responsibilities

  • Participate in team meetings, training and organisational development.
  • Contribute to monitoring reports.
  • Keep to our policies, including health & safety, safeguarding and risk regulations.
  • Work to our mission, vision, and values.
  • Work flexibly to meet the needs of the service, in line with the changing local and national landscape and carry out other projects and tasks as needed.
