The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) is the leading professional membership body for applied practitioners of the science of ecology. Our vision of a healthy natural environment for the benefit of current and future generations can only be realised through raising the profile and effectiveness of the work of professional ecologists and environmental managers. We are looking for a highly motivated Professional Practice Manager to help us raise standards across the industry by supporting and challenging ecologists to be ambitious for themselves and nature.
