Healthwatch Independent Strategic Advisory Board vacancies.

We are recruiting right now for new Advisory Board Members.

How often do you hear people share their stories of long waits for hospital appointments or short notice cancellations or difficulty in getting to see their GP? Then the really glowing stories where people feel the service they have received at a hospital or from their GP has been brilliant.  Ever thought ‘…if only people at the top could listen to what’s its actually like for people who are unwell, frail, or vulnerable struggling to access services and what would they change if it was their close family…’ Or to equally tell them ‘…what’s working well and ask why can’t you do some of the same for other services?’

You could just have such opportunities.

Healthwatch Halton is your local health and social care champion, ensuring people’s voices are at the centre of shaping NHS health services and social care services in Halton.

Healthwatch Halton is one 152 across England, set-up in April 2013 to bring the voices and experiences of local people to influence the decisions made in their health and social care. We use local people’s voices and experiences to work to influence planners, decision-makers, and service providers in Halton. The government provides money for each local authority to set up a Healthwatch. Local Healthwatch organisations have the right to go to places where health and social care is delivered and report what they find.

We are recruiting right now for new Advisory Board Members.

Engaging Communities Solutions CIC (ECS) was awarded the contract to deliver Healthwatch in Bedford Borough from April 2018. 

ECS retains contractual responsibility for the service so takes care of all infrastructure requirements like HR matters and finance. That means the Advisory Board focuses on agreeing on the work programme and providing oversight to ensure the work programme is achieved as well as supporting with the promotion of Healthwatch and collection of intelligence.

There are recruitment packs and role descriptors available for the Advisory Board Members.

The recruitment packs give details of the recruitment process, further information about Healthwatch Halton, the role of the Advisory Board Members plus how to apply.

If you would like an informal chat about the roles, please contact Dave Wilson, Chief Officer, either by phone or email
