Fancy Working Somewhere That Actually cares?

At Mercury Support, we don’t do boring. We’re a fast-moving, people-focused consultancy helping some of the most exciting names in hospitality stay on top of their food safety and health & safety compliance.

From buzzing cocktail bars to nationwide restaurant groups, our clients rely on us to keep them compliant, confident, and ahead of the game. And now, we’re looking for a qualified Environmental Health Practitioner who’s ready to make a real impact in the private sector.

If you’re passionate about food safety, H&S, and all things compliance, love meeting people, enjoy variety, and want to be part of a genuinely supportive, friendly team – then this could be your next big move.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supporting a diverse mix of hospitality, education, and healthcare clients, from indie bars to multi-site brands, universities, and hospitals
Delivering expert advice on food safety and health & safety compliance
Helping clients improve standards
Getting out and about (this is not your average desk job!)
Managing your own schedule and projects with the trust and flexibility to do great work
Travelling nationally when needed (so a full UK driving licence is essential)

What We’re Looking For

A qualified Environmental Health Practitioner with solid knowledge of current legislation and best practice
Ideally, some local authority enforcement experience (though we know great people come from all backgrounds)
A brilliant communicator who can build trust and lasting relationships with clients
Organised, proactive, and adaptable — able to juggle multiple projects with ease
Someone who’s comfortable travelling and occasionally working outside the usual 9–5
A proven track record of thriving in a fast-paced, people-first environment

What’s in It for You

We believe people do their best work when they feel valued, supported, and trusted. That’s why we offer:

33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
Your birthday off — on us!
Enhanced maternity/paternity leave
Enhanced employer pension contribution
Health Cash Plan – claim back medical expenses
Company expenses card & uniform supplied
CIEH membership paid
Ongoing training & development
Flexible working – because balance matters
And yes… a team that actually enjoys what they do!
