Full job description

About the Role

Food safety is built through consistent controls: ingredients need to be handled correctly, allergens must be documented, kitchens need reliable procedures, and every exception needs to be investigated before it creates a larger problem.

As a Food Safety and Compliance Officer, you will support safe and compliant food operations across catering and service environments. You will carry out inspections, review food safety documentation, monitor hygiene standards, support specialist dietary requirements, and help teams translate regulatory requirements into practical routines.

The role combines site-based checks with documentation and advisory work. One day may involve reviewing temperature records and kitchen procedures, while another could focus on investigating an allergen concern, updating a compliance register, or helping a catering team prepare for an inspection.

Key Responsibilities

Carry out routine food hygiene and operational compliance inspections.
Review food safety management procedures and identify areas requiring improvement.
Monitor temperature-control, storage, cleaning, and food-handling records.
Check that allergen information is accurate, current, and clearly communicated.
Support the safe management of specialist and medically required diets.
Maintain food safety registers, inspection records, and compliance documentation.
Investigate reported food-safety concerns and record findings accurately.
Track corrective actions arising from inspections and internal reviews.
Review kitchen and catering procedures against established standards.
Support implementation of HACCP-based controls.
Assist with food safety and hygiene training for operational staff.
Verify that cleaning schedules and sanitation procedures are being followed.
Monitor supplier and product information relevant to food safety.
Support investigations involving complaints, contamination risks, or incorrect food handling.
Prepare compliance summaries and inspection reports.
Maintain records relating to training, certifications, and required checks.
Assist with internal audits and preparation for external inspections.
Support improvements to nutrition, allergen, and catering-control processes.
Advise operational teams on practical food-safety requirements.
Keep up to date with relevant Scottish and UK food safety guidance.

What We Are Looking For

Previous experience in food safety, catering compliance, environmental health, hospitality operations, nutrition, or a related field.
Good understanding of food hygiene and safe food-handling requirements.
Knowledge of HACCP principles is preferred.
Experience reviewing food-safety documentation or carrying out compliance checks would be advantageous.
Understanding of allergen management and specialist dietary requirements.
Strong attention to detail when reviewing operational records.
Ability to prepare clear written reports and corrective-action notes.
Good communication skills when working with catering teams, managers, and suppliers.
Confidence raising compliance concerns professionally and constructively.
Relevant REHIS, RSPH, food hygiene, nutrition, or environmental-health qualifications would be beneficial.
Good working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Ability to organise inspections, follow-up actions, and documentation across multiple priorities.

Competencies

HACCP principles
Food hygiene inspection
Allergen management
Catering compliance
Specialist dietary support
Corrective action tracking
Regulatory documentation
Operational auditing
Nutrition awareness
Investigation and reporting
Staff guidance

Mindset

You are observant and practical. You understand that compliance only works when procedures can actually be followed during a busy service, so you look beyond paperwork and pay attention to what happens in practice. You are comfortable challenging unsafe processes while giving teams clear, workable guidance on how to improve them.

Pay: £2,800.00-£3,200.00 per month
