    Summary
    We are a recognised Organic control body providing Organic and Biodynamic (Demeter) certification for over 300 licensees in the UK. Biodynamic and Organic agriculture are ways of cultivating the earth and producing food that are based on environmentally regenerative, socially responsible and economically moral principles. Our Demeter and organic processing certification schemes are designed to provide assurance that the high quality and standards of the food produced in this way is maintained throughout it’s processing too.

It is essential that the candidate is self-motivating and enjoys working effectively in a small team.

    The Certification and Project Officer provides expertise within the Certification Office with regard to all matters concerning biodynamic & organic food processing, packing and trading. The role is primarily focused on the review of reports and certifying licensees for compliance with applicable standards.
    Certification and Project Officers also engage on assigned development projects according to directions given by the Certification Board and certification manager.
