CHEM Trust seeks new Trustees to guide the charity in the next exciting stage of its growth
CHEM Trust focuses its work on preventing this pollution. We bring together science and policy to identify the chemicals that need to be controlled and the best way to do this. We collaborate closely with other environmental and health groups to drive this positive change for people and nature.
Our main area of attention is at the EU level. Even though many improvements are needed, the EU is the region that has the most effective chemicals policy system and EU regulations shape other regulatory systems around the world. We do this work in association with our German partner, CHEM Trust Europe eV, as well as EU-wide groups such as the European Environment Bureau.
We also work in the UK, to keep us closely aligned with the EU system. At the global level we work to deliver improvements to global chemicals management, inspired and informed by the work already done at the EU level.
Since 2007, we have shaped chemicals policies, and are seen as trusted partners. We have a good reputation with experts, scientists, other charities, and industry. Many of our wonderful funders recognise the unique and vital work that we do and support us year in and year out.
We have grown considerably in recent years and now employ an amazing team of 12 people in the UK and a group of experts within the EU.
A formative time to join us
With a new European Parliament and European Commission starting work this year, and with an election soon in the UK, it is vital that we keep chemical pollution high on the agenda. The PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ are getting a higher and higher profile, but these are just the tip of an iceberg of harmful chemicals.
It’s truly an exciting time to join us. I’m a new Chair and we are just finalising our new strategy, so you’d be coming in at a pivotal moment for the organisation. There’s a real opportunity to use your skills and experience to shape the next stage of our development and growth.
You’ll be part of a friendly board and organisation that punches well above its weight, carrying out internationally important work that is done nowhere else in the UK.

We are currently looking for up to six new Trustees. You can find out more about these roles, including a job description and how to apply, in the CHEM Trust Trustee Appointment Brief.
We are looking for a variety of experience and skills to increase our impact, and strengthen our resilience. If you have experience in fundraising, finance, law, or HR, we’d be particularly keen to hear from you.
CHEM Trust is committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board. We welcome the debate and innovation that greater diversity of thinking brings, and are keen to support new Trustees from the start to enable them to play an effective role.
If you have any queries about these roles or the recruitment process or would like an informal discussion with me before applying, please visit our website for information on how to organise it.
