This vacancy is specifically for Blackpool, also Preston and Southport. Go and check out our other open roles here.

Benefits

• Flexible Working: While travel to and from audits means it's not strictly 9 5, you'll enjoy a more predictable schedule than typical hospitality roles.
• Localised Work, Less Travel: We keep your area local so you're not spending hours on the road.
• 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.
