About The Role
A vacancy has arisen for a suitably qualified and experienced Environmental Health professional to work in our food and health & safety team (Commercial Team), or an Environmental Health graduate who wishes to complete their portfolio.
You will hold a degree or a diploma in Environmental Health or a related subject or have significant experience in environmental health food and safety regulation and be able to meet the competencies for authorised Food Officers in accordance with the Food Law Code of Practice.
Graduate applications will also be considered, and we will facilitate the completion of your portfolio.
Depending upon qualifications and experience you will:
· Carry out food hygiene and food standards inspections of high and medium risk food premises, and premises requiring “approval” under product specific hygiene regulations.
· Undertake a programme of formal food sampling for examination and analysis.
· Investigate consumer complaints relating to food and food premises.
· Investigating complaints, requests for service and RIDDOR reported Incidents.
· Carrying out routine proactive and reactive occupational health and safety interventions in a wide variety of premises.
You will have experience of inspecting a wide range of premises and of dealing with the public, businesses, and food safety professionals. You will be experienced and competent in preparing legal documents, conducting PACE interviews, and initiating and satisfactorily concluding appropriate enforcement action. You will be able to demonstrate competency at the levels required for the post.
Graduates without experience will be fully trained in all areas of Environmental Health work.
This post is considered by the authority to be a customer-facing position; as such it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers.

The appropriate standards are set out in the JD/Person Specification. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
