Job description

Are you an experienced welfare or agriculture professional with a Lead Auditor qualification and at least five years’ practical industry experience, looking to carry out animal welfare audits on behalf of NSF as a self‑employed independent contractor?

 

As an independent contractor you will carry out welfare audits across hatcheries and slaughter sites, with most audits taking place in the UK, EU and internationally. This type of role often suits those already undertaking independent auditing work for other certification bodies, or who balance auditing alongside another role. 

Independent Contracting – How it works:

  • You operate on a self‑employed basis, completing audits on behalf of NSF

  • You share your availability, and audits are scheduled based on your availability, experience, species scope, and travel logistics 

  • Work is offered on an ad hoc basis and varies throughout the year depending on programme needs

  • Independent contracting offers autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to shape your own workload
