* Monitor performance, identify risks, and drive continuous improvement
* Support the onboarding of new producers and ensure all standards are met before supply begins
Skills & Experience
* Experience in farm liaison, agricultural coordination, or assurance roles
* Knowledge of farm assurance schemes (e.g. Red Tractor, RSPCA Assured, Lion Code or similar)
* Good understanding of welfare, biosecurity, and food safety principles
* Strong organisational and communication skills
* Confident with data and record keeping (Excel or database systems)
