Communications & Engagement Officer
At Healthwatch Brent we have been very fortunate to recruit a job share to our Communications and Engagement role. We have 4 days of funded staffing and have recruited a team of three wonderful people to provide this service on a flexible basis.
Our Communications & Engagement Officer is responsible for engaging with all sections of the Brent community, especially those who are seldom heard to ensure they know what services and health promotion is available to them, understand "what matters to them " in terms of the Health and Social Care they need as well as signposting current community and national services that will be able to help them. We then take this feedback to key Council and NHS decision makers to support service improvement that has a positive impact on our residents.
