Health & Wellbeing Volunteer Officer

Bexley Voluntary Service Council (BVSC) has been supporting the local Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) in Bexley for over 60 years. Throughout this time, BVSC has continually evolved in response to local need, sector challenges and wider changes in public policy. Today, BVSC plays a central role in strengthening the local voluntary sector, connecting organisations, amplifying community voice and enabling organisations across Bexley to be resilient, connected, and able to provide high-quality, impactful services to residents.

Alongside GP practices and community partners to address non-medical needs and improve health and wellbeing across the borough.

As the programme grows across multiple Primary Care Networks, Bexley Buddies aims to reduce pressure on GP services by creating meaningful opportunities for residents to connect, build confidence, and support one another through community-based activities and peer support.

You will work closely with local communities, GP practices, volunteers and NHS partners to develop and coordinate inclusive, participant-led activities that respond directly to local needs, strengthen community resilience, and help reduce health inequalities.
