Search² is exclusively supporting a national consultancy in the appointment of a Health, Safety & Food Safety Consultant to join their growing team covering London.

For almost 40 years, this business has helped nationally recognised organisations maintain high standards of Health & Safety, Food Safety and operational compliance across sectors including hospitality, contract catering, leisure, healthcare and facilities management.

Due to continued growth and increasing client demand, they're looking to strengthen their consultancy team with individuals who are passionate about helping organisations improve standards through practical advice, coaching and relationship building.

Why This Opportunity?
Whether you're an experienced consultant or looking to take your first step into consultancy after completing your qualifications, this is an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career with an established business.

Unlike many consultancy roles, this isn't about enforcing compliance or catching clients out.

Instead, you'll work collaboratively with organisations, helping them identify opportunities for improvement, share best practice and continually raise standards across Health & Safety and Food Safety.

You'll manage your own geographical area whilst enjoying the support of an experienced team who genuinely invest in developing their consultants.
Structured mentoring, shadow audits and ongoing professional development are all part of the journey.

What You Will Be Doing

Carrying out Health & Safety and Food Safety audits across a varied client portfolio
Providing practical advice and coaching to client sites
Helping clients continually improve operational standards
Completing digital audit reports using the company's market-leading platform
Building long-term relationships with clients
Supporting businesses with compliance and best practice
Managing your own diary and audit schedule across your region

Most audits are planned several months in advance, allowing you to effectively organise your workload and maintain an excellent work-life balance.

Who We're Looking For We're keen to hear from candidates at a variety of stages in their career.

Most importantly, we're looking for people who enjoy building relationships, communicating with clients and helping organisations improve through coaching rather than enforcement.

Early Career Professionals Welcome
This role offers an excellent opportunity for graduates and early-career professionals looking to establish themselves within consultancy.

You'll receive comprehensive training, shadow experienced consultants, gradually build your own client portfolio and develop your knowledge across Health & Safety, Food Safety and operational compliance.

If you have the right attitude and a willingness to learn, this business will provide the support needed to help you succeed.
