Job description

Community Engagement & Outreach Officer

Listen To Act

£28,000 FTE

2 days, pro rata, full time equivalent is 37 hours per week

Healthwatch Enfield Office, Community House, 311 Fore Street, London, N9 0PZ/Home and in the community

The charity Listen to Act delivers Healthwatch Enfield and is part of the wider network of Healthwatch organisations across the country connected by Healthwatch England.

Our mission is to listen to the experience of patients, residents and carers and bring about meaningful change in service provision for the communities we serve.

Under the former name of Healthwatch Central and West London we have spent over nine years championing what matters to residents, patients, and carers living in Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster and we continue to deliver a successful Healthwatch contract in Enfield.

We have achieved significant and lasting impact in people's lives through meaningful engagement.

Our well-respected community research, and consistently high-quality reporting has influenced the ways in which local providers have developed the delivery of health and adult social care services, addressing inequalities in access and outcome.

We are an organisation that is changing, adapting and seeking to have a greater impact for more people across a wider geographical area.

As we enter an exciting time of growth and development, building on our years of expertise and engagement with local communities and public services, we will be moving to a more commercial approach, diversifying our income, reducing our reliance on public sector procurement and growing our range of patient and public engagement services.

As Community Engagement and Outreach Officer you will work as a member of a small team responsible for the delivery of Healthwatch projects and programmes on a local level as agreed with the Board and CEO.

We are seeking an individual with experience of working with and engaging volunteers, alongside experience of managing day-to-day engagement and involvement of service users.
