Hygiene Food Industry Jobs

The sort of salary you can expect to achieve within a permanent hygiene management role can range from £25k for a team leader/ shift supervisor role, to higher-level managerial roles in the region of £35-45k per annum.

In the last year Focus Management Consultants have filled a number of Hygiene Management roles; the average salary offered was £36,000, plus 70% of these roles offered a pension and 40% offered a bonus.

There certainly seems to be a trend to up-skill Hygiene Management professionals and we have seen an increase in the number of roles in this important discipline. Perhaps some of this demand is fuelled by the new legislation introduced into the UK in January 2006.

When we looked at the skills and attributes requested in a Hygiene Manager role there are a number of key issues:

Well respected by Retailers technical team with a reputation for impacting on business change/best practice compliance "Hygiene/PPC" audit.
Conversant with chemical compliance and efficacy testing/validation High Care/High Risk.


Fully conversant with best practice "Hygienic design" principles for High Risk environments/equipment (CCFRA/EHEDG guidelines) and impact on cleaning efficacy/systems design.


Strong team manager with exacting standards with regard to operator competency and development, High Care HACCP principles for Hygiene and team empowerment High Care GMP, and coaching for performance.


Sound knowledge of all key retailer codes of practice (e.g. Listeria Management and best practice control, hygiene and food safety self audit systems, water quality management, Guidelines for the Organisation and Management of Cleaning, Guidelines for the Manufacture of High Care Products etc).


Specific fundamental understanding of Cleaning in Place systems (CIP) and (COP).


Key interface with CFA and application of principles of hygienic manufacturing.
Fundamental knowledge of microbiology and verification/validation of cleaning efficacy.

And who thought it was just about cleaning of production machinery?
