At CIEH we have a vision of a world with safer, cleaner and healthier environments for all, and our member volunteers play a crucial part in helping us achieve this vision.

Whatever your professional experience, you will find lots of interesting opportunities to get involved with supporting our work. All CIEH volunteer opportunities are open to members only.

How members can get involved

Become a CIEH Careers Ambassador and help raise awareness of environmental health, inspiring others to join the profession.

This volunteer role is designed for CIEH members with experience in environmental health (or a closely related field) who feel confident sharing their knowledge and career journey with school children, young people, and those considering a career change.

As a Careers Ambassador, you’ll provide real-world insight into the role and career pathways, helping others understand the impact and opportunities within the profession.

With your time and enthusiasm, we’ll provide the support and materials you need to engage and inspire the next generation of environmental health professionals.

Please note: This is a voluntary role undertaken at the member’s discretion. While CIEH will provide supporting materials and guidance, expenses or financial reimbursement for attending events are not provided.

We're looking for mentors to support the personal and professional development of candidates on the pathway to Registration as an Environmental Health Practitioner (EHP).

The CIEH Advisory Panels provide member-led insight, evidence and advice on policy and campaigning activity.

Volunteers play an important role at CIEH, including:

  • Committee and advisory group members
  • Trustees
  • Assessors

When vacancies occur, we advertise for vacant roles on our advisory groups, Board of Trustees and committees on our work for us page.
