Accessibility
We are keen to ensure that our staff are representative of all sections of the community and the people of Cornwall, and we especially welcome applications from those from a black and minority ethnic background, those with a physical disability or are neuro-diverse, as we are currently under-represented in these areas.
Our offices are on the ground floor with good wheelchair access.
Are you passionate about how health and social care services are delivered in Cornwall? If you are proactive and versatile, and believe that the voice of service users has a vital role to play in shaping how services are delivered and can improve, think about what you could achieve through this role.
Our vision is to inspire positive change in Cornwall’s health and social care through effective public engagement and we exist to ensure people and communities have a strong voice to influence and challenge how health and social care services are provided within their area.
Healthwatch Cornwall is a Community Interest Company (CIC), and we act as a ‘critical friend’ to the commissioners and providers of health and social care services to enable progressive and beneficial decisions to be made.
