The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) is looking to recruit up to two new Trustees with a particular expertise in policy and public affairs to join its Council.

RSPH is the world’s oldest independent health charity, operating under Royal Charter, dedicated to improving and protecting the public’s health. We want everyone to have the opportunity to optimise their health and wellbeing.

Our vision, voice, and practice guides our work, enabling us to deliver our high-quality services whilst being a strong and sound organisation, so we can impact the public’s health for many years to come.

We need to be agile and innovative in meeting the changing needs of our workforce and leading population health and wellbeing. 

Help us to build on this strong foundation and set a clear path to achieving our vision that all members of the population lead healthier lives for longer.

The Trustees of the RSPH demonstrate a commitment to public health and to using their specific skills, knowledge, and experience to help make collective sound decisions for the benefit of the charity.

Trustees may be asked to participate in the educational activities of the RSPH by supporting conferences, publications, external relations, or training programmes. 

Opportunities will arise for Trustees to support senior staff in specific projects/initiatives. We would expect you to be able to be able to commit to 8-12 days per year. 

Trustees are generally appointed for a three-year term which may be renewed once.

• Policy/influencing
• Government relations
• Public affairs

Sub-Committees 

RSPH Council has five sub-committees comprising, Audit & Risk, Qualifications Governance, Nominations and Governance, Public Health Workforce and Policy and Impact. We are looking for Trustees who would be able to commit to participation in one or more of these committees.

• Provide induction, training and support to enable trustees to carry out their role as effectively as possible. 
• Give adequate notice of relevant dates and events.
• Provide reports and papers in advance of meetings.

Educators and facilitators wanted to help East London Waterworks Park deliver its environmental learning goals.

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

We are looking for educator and facilitator volunteers to participate in our community-led working group, who are collaborating with schools, universities and youth groups that help the design of the park. 

Examples of projects are: 

• collaborating on nature walk activities for schools
• supporting university students interviewing teachers
• creating lesson plans to co-design the park. 

Schools, universities and youth groups we've collaborated with include:

• Buxton School, Leytonstone
• Kingsmead School, Enfield 
• UCL 
• Royal College of Art
• University of Westminster 
• Project Zero
• Voyage Youth 
• Loyola University Chicago 
• Vanderbilt University Nashville. 

We're looking for people to lead on these projects and facilitate the direction of the learning working group.

The Learning Circle currently meets monthly on a Wednesday evening at 8pm for an hour on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely.

You should be an experienced teacher, educational consultant, forest school leader, training and development specialist, learning designer, facilitator or any other kind of role creating learning projects, programmes and experiences. Our roles are quite flexible. We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role. 

Your support will help young people and learners improve their environmental knowledge of design and research as well as contributing to our community-owned park. This will in turn provide a sense of stewardship over the land once the park is created and student's ideas have been built into the park. 

Creating learning projects with educational institutions will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park.
