Here, at Healthwatch Rochdale we rely on volunteers to help us undertake our work. We aim to involve a diverse range of volunteers from across the Rochdale borough who are reflective of the local communities. Your knowledge will help us build stronger links with Rochdale residents who live, work or receive health or social care services locally.

Volunteers bring a variety of skills and a fresh perspective, offering time and passion to help shape and create impact with our work.

Healthwatch aims to help improve how health and social care services operate for the public. We present what people tell us to those who can make decisions to improve things.

Healthwatch Rochdale wants to be as good as possible at following up on the things we’ve told the people who plan and deliver health and care services to find out what’s been done about them. We need to find out more about how our work has helped improve services because this helps ensure we continue to get support from the public and the people who fund us.

The Impact Assistant volunteer will help the Healthwatch team record and keep track of the changes we are wanting to see in health and care services.

If going out and directly working with the public isn’t your thing, this could be the ideal role that allows you to support and contribute to the success of Healthwatch Rochdale.

Why should you be an Impact Assistant Volunteer?

As an Impact Assistant volunteer for Healthwatch Rochdale, you will help improve health and social care services for the people of the Rochdale borough and also contribute to Healthwatch Rochdale success by helping to track the difference we have made by analysing feedback, signposting, people’s experiences, information gathered, and highlighting the positive outcomes.
