Healthwatch is the local voice for the people of Hampshire when it comes to NHS and social care. We do three main things:
· We capture the views of local people on their experiences of using local services and use this to push NHS organisations, the Council and other publicly funded health and social care organisations to make improvements – or to celebrate where things are working well.
· We provide information and advice about local services to help people get the support they need.
· We challenge NHS and social care providers to make things better.
In Hampshire the local Healthwatch 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’re looking for a passionate and innovative communicator to join our small and friendly team.
With strong interpersonal, verbal, and written skills, as Healthwatch Officer you’ll create opportunities to engage digitally and face-to-face with a wide range of people on health and care issues.
You’ll need to build positive relationships with local residents, reaching those who are seldom heard or marginalised, and professionals from the health, social care and voluntary sectors.
Good teamwork is essential: we are looking for someone who is flexible and confident, who can speak to people from all parts of the community, and who will be ready to support the team in the different facets of its work, such as the recruitment, training and deployment of volunteers.
As an employee of The Advocacy People, you’ll be offered a competitive salary, flexible working arrangements and a comprehensive support and development programme.

We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.
We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
