A client of mine working for a local authority is looking to hire an Interim Environmental Health Officer, specializing in food safety, for the next 9 months due to a number of outstanding service requests, and a gap in their team due to a long standing permanent vacancy.

    \n
  • Food hygiene inspections across all risk categories
