In July 2021 Heathwaite accepted a ministerial appointment as Chair of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Science Advisory Council, which provides expert advice to the ’Defra Chief Scientific Adviser and helps guide Defra’s scientific priorities and planning. In April 2022 she was appointed to the UK Cabinet Office's Geospatial Commission as an independent commissioner.

Heathwaite served on Defra's Science Advisory Council from 2011-17. In 2017 Heathwaite became the first woman to be elected President of the Freshwater Biological Association (FBA). In 2004 she was elected as Vice-President of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). Heathwaite was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday honours 2018 for services to scientific research and scientific advice to government. On receiving the honour she said, “I love trying to work out what makes things tick and working independently, so research was the only career for me. More so, I want science to be useful and I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to show how science can help with government policy.” (en)
