The expert will support the delivery of an ongoing project to produce a strategic review within the Beef and Lamb sectors, comparing both regulatory and voluntary farmgate production standards in England to key producing nations across the globe.

The successful experts will proactively engage in the projects delivery, helping to shape analysis, alongside providing scrutiny of the reports outcomes and results, to ensure credible, authentic, and independent conclusions are drawn from the workstream.

We are looking for proactive, highly qualified individuals with significant experience within the agriculture/food/environment arena, preferably with direct exposure to the requirements and complexities surrounding international comparisons in production standards. Relevant experience in one or more of our key production areas such as food safety, animal health and welfare, livestock traceability or environmental standards would be advantageous. This might be obtained from academic, commercial or policy experience.

For the expert, a day rate will be provided. A starting rate of £750/day will be applied (dependent on experience).
