A rewarding career with great prospects
Environmental health practitioners are highly qualified professionals whose work, as well as being varied and challenging, makes a real difference to people’s health and well-being.
It’s a career that provides excellent opportunities, both for school leavers and for people wanting to retrain or to take forward experience gained in related occupations. The EH Careers website provides information for school leavers, or those planning to undertake a qualification in environmental health.
Steps to becoming an EHP
Further professional development
For the CIEH members, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the work of the CIEH.
Conducting a piece of research is an excellent way of developing your own knowledge, while also supporting the whole profession by contributing to the environmental health evidence base.
The ultimate accolade, for those who have made an outstanding contribution to the profession, is to be awarded a Fellowship by the CIEH Council.
If you are working in, or are considering working in, public health you may want to seek registration with the UK Public Health Register. The CIEH manages the Developmental Portfolio Assessment Route to the UK Public Health Register and details of this new route can be found here.
