Environmental health in local government is all about improving people’s quality of life and making sure they are able to live, work and play in safe, healthy environments. Local government environmental health officers/practitioners are involved in a wide range of activities covering food safety, public health, occupational health, housing and environmental protection.  

 

Local Government East Midlands has just launched a new careers website aimed at attracting people into environmental health.  The site includes general information about working in environmental health, case studies from environmental health officers and course information for the East Midlands area.

 

The site also includes a clear career pathway map and information about a new diploma qualification, which is particularly intended to encourage younger people into the profession.

 

You can find the new website at www.emehcareers.org.uk
