Skills

Required

• Excellent communication skills
• Must have a full UK driving license

Preferred

• Being registered with CIEH or IOSH

Benefits

• Flexible Working: Monday to Friday. While travel to and from audits means it’s not strictly 9 - 5, you’ll enjoy a more predictable schedule than typical hospitality roles.
• Real Career Development: If you’ve worked in restaurants, bars, or food service, you already have exposure to food safety, we’ll help you build on that with Level 4 Food Safety and Health & Safety training, at no upfront cost. All we ask for is a 1-year commitment.
• Localised Work, Less Travel: We keep your area local so you’re not spending hours on the road. That means more time at home and less time commuting.
• Minimal Overnight Stays: Overnight stays are rare and only ever required if you choose to take them on.
• Make a Visible Impact: You’ll visit restaurants, bars, and grocery stores, many you may already know as a customer, and help them meet high standards in food safety and compliance.
