Environmental Health is a rewarding career with great prospects. Find out about the work, the scope, the rewards, the people and the routes to qualification.
Making a Difference
Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) work to improve quality of life now and in the future, reducing health inequalities and making life better and safer.
Working in public health is about a lot more than a "Life of Grime". EHPs do not spend their time catching rats or unblocking drains. Environmental Health is a highly qualified graduate professional career with a range of excellent job opportunities.
There is only one thing predictable about life as an EHP. No two days will ever be the same, because of the amazingly wide scope of our work.
Keeping Everyone Healthy and Safe
EHPs are here to protect the public's health and improve the general quality of life. Everything from the air we breathe and the food we eat, to the water we swim in, the houses we live in and the places we work in… all of these things affect our well-being.
You can make a difference as an Environmental Health Practitioner. The varied areas of work include improving the environment, protecting public health, improving housing conditions, reducing workplace accidents, raising food and nutrition standards and reducing health inequalities.
The Rewards are More Than You Think
