Join us to improve health and care services for people in Wandsworth as part of the Healthwatch Committee

Are you interested to become a Healthwatch Committee Member? 

Healthwatch plays a vital role, working with the NHS and social services in Wandsworth to represent local patients and residents and ensure that their voices are heard.  We are inviting applications from individuals interested in joining its governing Committee. Might you be interested?

This is different to our other volunteer roles because it is more focused on guiding how Healthwatch Wandsworth works and making sure we are on the right track. 

Personal qualities

We welcome interest and applications from individuals who are committed to promoting the voice of residents and patients, and ensuring that Healthwatch delivers effectively and meets its statutory and other obligations.   

Wandsworth is a highly diverse community and we welcome applications from people - of all ages and backgrounds - who reflect this.

Similarly, we welcome individuals with a range of relevant personal and professional experience: for example, if you’ve been a patient with direct experience of health and/or social services; or if you have worked with a local community or communities; or if you have relevant clinical or service delivery experience in the sector or elsewhere.

You don’t need previous experience of being part of a committee - we will offer support and mentoring as necessary.  But we are looking for people with the personal interest and skills to work effectively together with others in a committee setting.
