Shape a Safer, Smarter, Greener Future
At Aimia Foods, health and safety is more than just policy—it’s about making a positive difference to how people feel at work. We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about people, continuous improvement, and building a culture where everyone takes ownership of doing the right thing.
This isn’t just a role for traditional Health & Safety professionals. If you have an interest in safety, process improvement, operational leadership, or you’re a graduate with a degree in a relevant subject—we want to hear from you.
Whether you’ve worked in Operational Excellence, Continuous Improvement, production, or a frontline leadership role—don’t count yourself out just because “Health & Safety” is in the job title. If you care about culture, people, and making things better, this could be a great next step.

Sustainability & Environment

• Support our practical sustainability goals
• Get involved in environmental reporting and planning
• ISO experience is useful but not essential

Training & Engagement

• Deliver hands-on, people-friendly training sessions
• Lead engaging inductions and refreshers that stick
• Build trust and buy-in from the shop floor to leadership

Compliance & Reporting

• Keep us compliant with relevant HSE legislation
• Maintain open, proactive relationships with regulators
• Track key data to spot trends and drive action

What We’re Looking For

• An interest in health, safety, continuous improvement, or operational leadership
• You may be an experienced professional or a graduate with a relevant degree (e.g. Health & Safety, Environmental Management, Operations, Engineering, or Business)
• Strong communication and influencing skills
• A practical, problem-solving mindset and a passion for helping others
• NEBOSH (or working towards it), or other relevant training
• A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

What You’ll Get in Return

• Salary up to £45,000 (based on experience)
• Access to holiday homes in Devon, Windermere, and Spain
• Health cash plans and discounted gym membership
• Subsidised meals in our on-site canteen
• Recognition schemes with prizes, holidays, and vouchers
