Job description
About our Organisation
Soil Association Certification Ltd exists to accelerate the just transition across food, farming and land use, as a global leader in sustainability certification. We deliver trusted solutions with nature, for people and planet through the certification of high integrity holistic standards. These assurance schemes cover a wide range of sectors including food, forestry, farming, landscape restoration carbon markets, beauty and wellbeing, textiles and catering.
We are recognised and trusted by consumers and businesses around the world, operating in over 60 countries delivering FSC and PEFC certification, and you will also find the Soil Association organic symbol on over 70% of organic products in the UK.
Soil Association Certification is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Soil Association, formed in 1946, which is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.
We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn't do any of this without our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world where it’s needed the most.
About the Opportunity
We are looking for contracted auditors to inspect organic food, farming, textiles & beauty businesses and to provide efficient and professional inspections with good customer service to our clients.
About You
You must have a background in either food, farming, textiles or cosmetics and be an experienced auditor with some knowledge of organic production. Qualifications in these areas are desirable. You need to be confident and decisive, a good communicator and have experience of face-to-face communications with businesses and providing good customer care. We need people with an investigative nature and able to manage their own workload. Some audits will require travel and staying away from home at times to ensure efficient use of time and travel.
