Location: London
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.

• 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.
