Join our Presidential team as a Vice-President

Chance to influence the future of the profession

Our Presidential team are ambassadors for IOSH. They are an important link, spreading our message to our membership and the wider profession. We’re recruiting for a Vice-President to join the team.

The team is made up of our President, President-Elect and up to four Vice-Presidents.

It represents IOSH to members in our communities and at events and conferences – both local and international. The team also promotes our work through a variety of media.

It’s a unique chance to shape the future of occupational safety and health. We’d welcome your fresh perspective and skills in this key volunteering role.

“Being a Vice-President fills me with so much pride. Not only are you an ambassador for our Institution, but you also get to grow as a person learning new skills. As a member of the Presidential team you are there to deliver and support IOSH’s strategy, campaigns and key messages to our members, stakeholders and the wider occupational safety and health community.”

You fill out the application form yourself. You are unlikely to be shortlisted if you use AI-generated responses without personal examples.

The supporting statement should come from either your direct line manager (if in employment) or a senior industry peer (if self-employed).

“In my first year as an IOSH Vice-President I have learnt at a rate unlike anything I have experienced before. Being part of the Presidential team is like a family and the support we get is nothing short of outstanding. I highly recommend that everyone considers applying as you won’t regret it for a second.”
