Food Service Auditor - Solihull/Coventry

Are you working long hours, evenings, and weekends in hospitality, and ready for a change?

At NSF, we’re offering a unique opportunity to transition your hospitality experience into a rewarding auditor role with structured hours, career development, and great benefits.

This vacancy is specifically for Solihull/Coventry. Go and check out our other open roles here. 

 

What We Offer:

• Flexible Working: Monday to Friday. While travel to and from audits means it’s not strictly 9 - 5, you’ll enjoy a more predictable schedule than typical hospitality roles.
• Real Career Development: If you already hold a Level 4 Food Safety qualification (or equivalent), we’ll fund your Level 4 Health & Safety training at no upfront cost. All we ask for is a 1-year commitment.
• Localised Work, Less Travel: We keep your area local so you’re not spending hours on the road. That means more time at home and less time commuting.
• Minimal Overnight Stays: Overnight stays are rare and only ever required if you choose to take them on.
• Make a Visible Impact: You’ll visit restaurants, bars, and grocery stores, many you may already know as a customer, and help them meet high standards in food safety and compliance.

Responsibilities

Including, but not limited to:

• Complete food safety checks at client sites

• Train and coach staff while on-site - we're compliance-seekers not fault-finders

• Write up inspection results and share with client managers

• Collect samples and send them to labs for testing

• Plan your inspections to meet deadlines

• Keep in touch with your team and client contacts

• Jump in on other tasks when needed
