Invitation to participate in a survey about your experiences of working in the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) and Faith sectors.
We are researchers from the University of Sheffield and Leeds Beckett University. We are working in partnership with local community groups to conduct a study, Supporting the VCSE Paid Workforce, to understand the experiences of paid staff delivering health and wellbeing services in the VCSE sector across South and West Yorkshire.
We've created a survey for you to share your thoughts on professional development, wellbeing support, and your experiences working in the VCSE sector. Your insights are invaluable and will help shape future support initiatives within our study. More information about the study is available here: Study Summary
Who can take part?
The survey is open to VCSE staff who deliver health and wellbeing services in South or West Yorkshire, including Health Trainers, Social Prescribers, Community Connectors, Link Workers, Youth Workers, and Community Development Workers (although your role may have a different name).
How can I take part?
The survey is optional and takes about 25 minutes. It can be completed through this link: https://shef.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7NGVjUjCkA2H5We
The survey is open until Friday, 18th July. All responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for research. Individual responses won't be shared with your employer or other organisations. As a thank you, participants who complete the survey and provide contact details will enter a prize draw for one of five £20 vouchers.
We want to hear as many people’s views as possible, so please share this email with your colleagues.
