Healthwatch Haringey seeks new Chair
Healthwatch Haringey is the independent ‘people’s champion’ for health and social care in the London Borough of Haringey, and part of the wider national Healthwatch network. Healthwatch Haringey was set up as part of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, which placed a requirement on every Local Authority in England to have an independent Healthwatch.
We actively seek out the views of the public and patients on all matters relating to health and social care in Haringey. We use this evidence to influence the way health and social care services are designed, delivered, and improved.
Duties of the Chair
It is anticipated the duties of the Chair will take four days per month. This is a voluntary position with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses covered.
The Chair will:
- Promote good governance, leadership, involvement, and accountability.
- Manage Board Meetings and other public engagement events where appropriate.
- Represent and promote the work of Healthwatch Haringey.
While you might not have a background in health or social care, we are looking for someone who has the transferrable skills to play a leading part in the future of Healthwatch Haringey.

We welcome applications from anyone who lives, works or is registered with a GP in Haringey or North Central London ICS area.
