Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do.
Our volunteers are out in the community everyday listening to people to find out if health and care is working for them in Bath and North East Somerset.
Whether you want to gain valuable work experience, help improve care in your community or learn new skills, there are lots of ways you can join us to make a real difference.
Our volunteers support us in many different ways. From speaking to local people to find out what they think about health and care, to using these views to influence those who run services, volunteers play an important role here and we couldn't do it without them.
It is a great way to learn about the health care sector form a different point of view. My listening and communication skills have developed hugely, and my confidence has grown massively with talking to new people.
