About Healthwatch Barnet
Healthwatch Barnet is the local independent champion for people who use health and social care services. We exist to find out what matters to people and to help make sure their views shape the services they use.
Role:
Are you keen to give something back to the community and make a real difference to local people? Are you looking to develop new skills and close any gaps in your CV, or to build on existing experience and knowledge?
By volunteering with us, you could:
- Help ensure that people using services are listened to, involved, and empowered to influence local services
- Make a positive difference within your community
- Feel valued as part of a team
- Meet new people and make new friends
- Build your health and social care skills and knowledge
- Gain valuable experience within the non-profit sector

Role Description:
We regularly run stalls at local events in Barnet. We are seeking volunteers who are passionate about tackling health inequalities, to support our team with delivering events and recording people’s feedback. Our events take place in a wide range of settings, including food banks, community centres and with faith groups. Our volunteers help to document resident feedback, and this directly supports our work to change and improve health and social care in Barnet.
Key tasks:
- Assisting with setting up information stalls at local events
- Supporting event attendees to complete surveys, gathering their feedback
- Encouraging residents to use Healthwatch Barnet’s service as their independent health and social care champion
- Attending training and volunteer meetings as needed
In addition to the roles set out above, from time to time we recruit volunteers to support specific projects. Project groups are led by a member of the Healthwatch Barnet staff team. They are time-limited and come to an end when a piece of work is completed.
Note: All events take place in Barnet, during the weekday, between 9-5.
