We are looking for a fully qualified and experienced environmental health or food safety practitioner to join our busy commercial services team.

The position is also ideally suited to a newly qualified graduate in environmental health or someone having completed the academic element of the Higher Certificate in Food Control. We would provide a practical training opportunity to obtain the necessary competencies required to deliver official food controls and other official activities. On successful completion of an internal competency assessment (and completion of the award in the case of the HCFC) you would be appointed as an authorised food and safety officer on the higher grade.

You will be working in a magnificent converted stone mill, in a pleasant rural setting close to the Cotswold escarpment but within minutes of the M5 and easy access to Gloucester and Bristol. This is a very attractive area in which to live and work.
