Food Service Auditor, Leicester (Independent Contractor)

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 and great benefits.

What NSF can offer you:

• 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. 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.
