Overview: We’re working exclusively with an exciting, fast-moving food manufacturing & hospitality business that is looking for a Food Safety Executive to join the team and help keep food safety standards high across a growing multi-site operation.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be out across sites, conducting audits, coaching teams, supporting investigations and helping make sure food safety and health & safety standards are consistently followed.

Why this role?
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being out on site, working with people and solving problems rather than sitting behind a desk.

You’ll have real responsibility for supporting teams across multiple locations, identifying issues and making sure they’re properly addressed.

Working closely with the Quality & Safety Director, you’ll have the opportunity to influence food safety standards, develop teams and help drive improvements across the wider operation.

Conducting regular internal audits across multiple sites.
Supporting sites with audits, investigations and resolving food safety issues.
Coaching and training teams on food safety, health & safety and risk assessments.
Providing food safety and allergen training to large teams.
Liaising with Environmental Health Officers and supporting EHO inspections.
Designing quarterly safety audits based on data, trends, seasonality and emerging concerns.
Completing reports following site visits and coaching sessions.
Supporting investigations into food poisoning, accidents and foreign body allegations.
Helping identify root causes and recommendations to prevent issues happening again.
Supporting enforcement correspondence and ensuring actions are dealt with efficiently.
Working with third-party suppliers covering areas such as pest control, chemicals and management systems.
Ensuring HACCP documentation, hygiene standards and risk assessments are maintained to a high standard.

About the business
Our client is a fast-moving and growing food business with a multi-site operation across London and the wider UK.

With ambitious plans for continued growth, maintaining consistently high food safety standards is a key priority for the business.

You’ll be joining a dynamic team where food safety is taken seriously, but where you’ll also have the opportunity to work closely with operational teams and make a genuine difference on the ground.

What are they looking for?
Essential

Previous experience in a food safety role within food manufacturing, QSR, hospitality or a similar environment.
Strong experience conducting audits and supporting site teams.
Strong knowledge of food safety, health & safety and HACCP.
Experience dealing with EHO inspections and liaison.
Experience delivering food safety and allergen training.
Knowledge of pest control, hygiene and other food safety hazards.
Strong attention to detail with a genuine commitment to maintaining high standards.
A proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues.
Confident communicating with teams at all levels.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment.

What’s in it for you?

A varied, hands-on food safety role across multiple sites.
The opportunity to work closely with senior leadership.
