Job description

The team includes EHOs, a Food Safety Officer, an Apprentice EHO, and a Food Safety Support Officer and they’re on track to meet their inspection targets in 2025-26. But it’s not all about food inspections. The team performs our role as the enforcing authority for health & safety, leads on regulating special treatments, deals with cases of infectious disease, manages our primary authority arrangements, responds to complaints, and provides support to some of the biggest events to take place in the region.

We’re looking for an EHO who is competent and experienced in delivering these functions. We also want someone with a flair for thinking outside the box, comfortable using novel tactics, and understands how exploiting opportunities through the media can raise standards and protect the public.

Key Skills and Experience

We are looking for someone with:

1. A CIEH accredited BSc(Hons), MSc or diploma in environmental health.
2. Registration as an EHO with the CIEH or EHRB.
