Job Description
Are you a qualified Environmental Health Practitioner (EHP) or Environmental Health Officer (EHO) and looking to advance your career in the private sector? Join Shield Safety, one of the UK’s leading Environmental Health Consultancies, and take the next step in your career. Whether you are wanting to achieve CIEH Registration through our structured Pathway to Registration Programme, you’re ready to take a step up in your Environmental Health career and take advantage of the unrivalled professional development opportunities that we can offer, or perhaps you simply want a change from Housing or Port Health and you want to specialise in Food Hygiene and Health & Safety instead.
This is a fantastic opportunity for professionals with a BSc or MSc in Environmental Health and some hands‑on experience in leading inspections or auditing to grow within a collaborative, passionate and award‑winning team.
Why Work with Shield Safety

You’ll be given full support to complete your Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) Registered EHP Pathway Programme.

Work Smarter with Compliance Technology: Use our proprietary Audit Upload Tool and digital compliance systems to streamline your work.
Work with Leading Retail & Hospitality Brands: Gain experience working with high‑profile clients and leading brand names in Retail and Hospitality, including major supermarket chains and restaurant groups.
Broaden Your Experience: Go beyond inspections – get involved in training delivery, bespoke consultancy, and thought leadership projects that influence the future of public health and safety.
Industry Recognition and Collaboration: Collaborate with experts from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), Food Standards Agency (FSA), and Food Standards Scotland (FSS).
Award‑Winning Consultancy: Join a company twice named Compliance Consultancy of the Year.

Hold an accredited BSc or MSc in Environmental Health.
Have some experience leading audits, inspections or in compliance consultancy.
Be passionate about public health, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
