How can I volunteer?

Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do

From talking to people about their experiences of health and social care, to writing reports, to updating our social media - volunteers are vital to our work. Whether you have a few hours to spare or are looking for a regular commitment, we've got a volunteering role to suit you. 

Current volunteering opportunities

Take a look at our current volunteering opportunities:

• Outreach & Engagement volunteers - To improve care we need to understand people's experiences of using services and support. That's where our engagement volunteers come in. From attending community events to running online focus groups, you will play a crucial role in listening to what people want from health and social care services. 
• Enter and View volunteers - To get a first hand look at how health and social care services are running we train some volunteers to go into services and ask people about their experiences of them, like a care home. This includes observing how the service runs, talking to patients, carers and staff, and contributing to a report about your visit. 
• Communications volunteers - Do you love writing? Or perhaps you have a passion for social media? Our communications volunteers help raise awareness of who we are, promote our projects and surveys and create content for all our digital channels.

• Healthwatch Halton Champion - You will help to promote Healthwatch Halton information, surveys and our feedback centre. This could be in your local area, to people you know, to groups and organisations you belong to, and through social media. You can also alert the team to issues or a need for information. This will allow us to share the information people require and gain further insight into any emerging local issues.

Not found a role that suits you? We're always keen to hear from people who have new skills to offer us, if that's you, get in touch.
