Spotlight role
Healthwatch has an important statutory power that entitles authorised volunteers to enter and view health and social care settings, to observe how services are being delivered.
Trained volunteers work in small groups to go into places like care homes, gathering the views of residents, relatives, carers and staff members.
We need volunteers to join our Enter & View team, to help improve services across St Helens as well as gaining experiences, new skills and increasing their own confidence.
