Governance volunteering isn’t about ticking boxes - it’s about working together to shape the future of environmental health. You’ll join a supportive team helping CIEH stay true to its mission of creating safer, cleaner and healthier environments for the benefit of all.
We are especially keen to hear from individuals who reflect the diversity of the profession and the communities we serve.
Benefits of volunteering
"As a volunteer I've enjoyed connecting with like-minded professionals and working on a shared ambition to support the CIEH through a period of significant change.
James Howe, Appointments and Remuneration Committee Chair
Many of our volunteers have full time jobs and other commitments, so we aim to make your involvement as manageable as possible.
We want our governance roles to reflect the diversity of the profession and the communities we serve. You don’t need to be a governance expert - just bring your enthusiasm, perspective, and your commitment to environmental health.

We value your voice and encourage you to apply. No prior governance experience is required, just your enthusiasm and commitment.
You don’t need to be a CIEH member to get involved. If you bring relevant experience, a passion for environmental health, and a desire to contribute to our mission, we’d love to hear from you. We currently have non-member roles available in our Membership, Profession and Policy Advisory Group, and Risk and Audit Committee (RAC). Your external perspective can be a powerful asset in helping us grow and evolve.
"I joined the Risk and Audit Committee as a career risk professional looking to share my experience and get a more rounded perspective on how risk is managed across the charity sector. One of the things I've really appreciated is getting an insight into what a specialist or leadership committee needs from an organisation to provide effective counsel. It's also increased my confidence navigating a committee structure, which has definitely improved my value back in my home organisation."
