We are a multi-disciplined team who cover a range of traditional commercial Environmental Health, Trading Standards and Port Health activities. We also have one of the busiest Border Control Posts in the UK for the import of fishery products and are responsible for a full range of enforcement duties both inland and at the border.  The area is also a local, national and international hub of food manufacturing, storage and distribution, which influences the nature of our regulatory service demands. 

The Port complex of Grimsby and Immingham is the UK’s largest port by tonnage, handling around 12% (62.6 million tonnes) of the UK’s cargo.  Benefiting from a prime deep-water location on the Humber Estuary, one of Europe’s busiest trade routes, it plays a central role in the commercial life of the UK.

We are currently in the process of transforming our service in response to the UK’s departure from the EU and are looking for hard working, enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals as valuable additions to our service.
