Job Description
Are you an experienced poultry, egg production, or agricultural professional looking to carry out British Lion Code Eggs assessments on behalf of NSF as a self‑employed independent contractor?
NSF is a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services. Within our Agriculture team, we operate as a certification body for a range of plant and animal assurance schemes, including the British Lion Code of Practice. Our assessors play a key role in auditing farms and verifying compliance with scheme owner standards.
We are looking for a British Lion Code Eggs Assessor to join our team of self-employed contractors in Norfolk.
If you have practical experience in egg production or the poultry sector, and an interest in food safety, traceability, and assurance standards, independent auditing can offer a flexible and rewarding way to use your practical experience and industry knowledge.

- You are paid per audit, with travel expenses covered, where applicable
- You share your availability, and visits are scheduled based on your location, experience, and scheme coverage
- Work is offered on an ad hoc basis and can vary throughout the year depending on programme needs
- Independent contracting offers autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to shape your own workload
Responsibilities
Including, but not limited to:
- Conducting on-site audits of egg production units, including laying farms and (where applicable) packing centres
- Reviewing scheme requirements and completing audits in line with the British Lion Code of Practice
- Assessing key areas such as biosecurity, hygiene controls, traceability, flock health, and egg handling processes
- Summarising and evaluating audit findings and submitting reports within agreed timeframes
- Clearly communicating audit findings with producers and client representatives
- Planning audit activity effectively to meet deadlines
- Maintaining effective communication with audit delivery and client teams
