Fitness to Practise roles

We are seeking three screeners (open to both members and non-members) and one lay moderator (open to non-members only) to support our fitness to practise process. These independent roles are essential in maintaining professional standards and public trust in the environmental health profession.

Key responsibilities

• Review and assess fitness to practise complaints
• Investigate cases impartially, ensuring fairness and transparency
• Apply CIEH’s Code of Ethics and fitness to practise rules
• Determine whether complaints meet the real prospect test (both in relation to facts and current impairment)
• Make independent decisions and uphold public confidence in the profession

The ideal candidates will have:

• Strong analytical and decision-making skills
• Experience in evaluating evidence and making impartial judgments
• An understanding of professional standards and ethics
• Excellent written communication and attention to detail
• Commitment to fairness, diversity, and inclusion

Candidates do not need a background in environmental health but must demonstrate experience in decision-making and evidence evaluation.

Time commitment and remuneration

• The roles are flexible and remote, requiring up to 28 hours per year
• Paid per case reviewed (in line with CIEH’s fees policy)
