Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator, Health and Chemicals Health and Environment AlliancePosted on 10.07.2024 Deadline 04.08.2024
€4,000/month (est.)

Pollution, from a cocktail of substances, impacts health negatively. Cancer, infertility, and impaired immune, hormonal and reproductive systems can result even from low levels of exposure to harmful chemicals. Shockingly, over 70% of chemicals produced in Europe are hazardous to health.
The health and medical community can play a key role in preventing disease through ambitious chemicals policies which reduce people’s exposure. With the start of the EU policy cycle, HEAL aims to engage our members as well as health professionals, medical associations, patients and disease groups and other health stakeholders to raise awareness on the health of chemical pollution on our advocacy priorities and urgency to act on PFAS, EDCs, Bisphenols or other hazardous chemicals.
Are you HEAL’s new Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator for Health and Chemicals?
You can help expand health and medical engagement, build capacity to communicate the latest science on health and chemicals to decision-makers, and advocate for policies which place health at the centre of reducing chemical pollution.
We need someone who:
… is passionate about HEAL’s mission and ensuring we can lead healthy lives on a healthy planet
… has at least 5 years of experience in a health or environmental advocacy role, preferably within an NGO or public health organisation
… possesses excellent attention to detail, organisational, and planning skills, with strong project-management abilities
… has proven expertise in chemical health risks and their impact on public health
