About the job

Job summary

We are looking for a passionate and analytical Nutrition Science Adviser to join the Science and Surveillance team within the Food Standards Agency in Northern Ireland. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to meaningful work that helps ensure food is safe, accurately represented, and supports healthier, more sustainable choices for consumers.

In this role, you will use your expertise in nutrition science to inform policy and improve understanding of dietary health across Northern Ireland. Working with a range of internal and external partners, you will play a key part in shaping how evidence is used to support public health outcomes. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys working with data, collaborating with others, and making a tangible impact through science.

Job description

You will take the lead in analysing and interpreting complex nutrition and dietary health data from multiple sources, using this insight to inform policy development, implementation and evaluation. You will manage and contribute to key surveys and research projects, ensuring data is translated into clear and meaningful outputs such as reports, briefings and presentations tailored to a range of audiences.

Working closely with colleagues across policy, science and social research teams, you will respond to enquiries, support the development of business cases for new initiatives, and contribute to performance monitoring and evaluation activities. The role also involves identifying research opportunities, supporting the commissioning of new work, and engaging with stakeholders across government and partner organisations to ensure a strong and evidence-based approach to dietary health in Northern Ireland.
