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.

• 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)

• 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

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
• 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!

We’re a small but mighty consultancy specialising in food safety and health & safety for the hospitality, education and healthcare sectors. We’ve worked as operators ourselves, so we get it. Our clients include The Alchemist, Manchester Metropolitan University, Graffiti Spirits Group, Tattu, Brewski, and many more.

We’re all about building strong relationships and delivering a first-class service that makes compliance stress-free. With us, you’re not just another cog in the wheel. You’ll be making a real difference every single day.
