Join to apply for the Senior Environmental Health Officer role at Midnight Mixtape.
Job Description
Aberdeenshire Council's Environmental Health Food Safety Team is tasked with delivering the Council's statutory responsibility for food law enforcement.
We are looking to recruit a talented, ambitious and suitably qualified individual to join our team as a Senior Environmental Health Officer. Knowledge and experience in food law enforcement are essential criteria for this post. Experience in a supervisory capacity would be advantageous but not essential.
The successful candidate will be expected to carry out various food law interventions in a range of food business establishments within Aberdeenshire and will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience and develop an interest in many specialised and technical food production establishments and processes. Experience in the inspection of "approved establishments" and the application of official control verification techniques at such premises would be advantageous.
The successful candidate needs to be an enthusiastic and motivated individual and be capable of enhancing team performance. The base location is flexible; however, initially, the post holder would be expected to operate in the North Aberdeenshire area. Candidates should be flexible in their approach to work and will benefit from support from existing team members in this regard.
There is a responsibility for the post holder to demonstrate a commitment to quality service delivery through continuous improvement for the benefit of the Service and the organisation.
Requirements
Applicants must hold the BSc (Hons) or MSc in Environmental Health and the Diploma or Certificate in Environmental Health from the Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland or equivalent. The successful applicant should also hold additional qualifications in the food safety/hygiene subject area, for example, advanced HACCP. OCV qualifications would also be welcomed.
Excellent communication, IT skills, and the ability to engage with a range of stakeholders including businesses, residents, other council services, and external agencies are important attributes. The successful applicant should also be available to work out with normal office hours, including weekends, on occasion.
A current full UK driving licence is also essential.
This post is regulated work with Children and/or Protected Adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. A confirmed offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
