About us

Wiper and True is a rapidly growing craft brewery producing high-quality beer. We pride ourselves on operational excellence, robust food-safety standards and a collaborative, frontline-led culture. This role is an operationally-focused compliance position based at our Bristol brewery, reporting to the Brewery Operations Director

Role overview:

You will support the day-to-day running of health, safety and food-safety compliance across production, packaging and fulfilment. Working closely with the Brewery Operations Director and site teams, you'll assist with HACCP and Risk Assessment documentation, coordinate the internal audit programme, maintain SOPs and records, and help ensure compliance is embedded into everyday production activity. You'll play an active role in improving how we work — spotting risks, refining systems and helping build a stronger safety culture across the site.

Key responsibilities

• Food safety & Safety Management System support: Support Managers to maintain HACCP records, monitoring logs and Total Quality Management documentation in line with site procedures and certification requirements.

• Audit coordination: Coordinate the internal audit schedule, help prepare documentation packs for external audits (e.g. SALSA/BRC/M&S), track corrective actions and liaise with relevant stakeholders to ensure resolution.

• SOPs & documentation control: Help create, update and circulate production SOPs, checklists and monitoring records; keep the document control system accurate and up to date.

• Training Administration: Maintain the training matrix, record completion and flag gaps to relevant stakeholders.

• Risk assessments & Incident recording: Support the completion and review of production risk assessments and COSHH assessments. Ensure incidents, near misses and product safety events are logged; assist with investigations and track corrective and preventive actions through to closure.

• H&S Meeting Admin & Reporting: Compile compliance KPI data for regular reports and meetings; take notes and track actions from H&S meetings.

• Housekeeping & site cleanliness: Carry out regular housekeeping checks across production and warehouse areas, recording findings and raising issues with the relevant team leader or Manager. Support a culture of clean-as-you-go by reinforcing housekeeping standards with frontline teams and helping to maintain a tidy, safe and audit-ready site at all times.

• Visitor compliance: Co-ordinate the site visitor process from a compliance perspective — maintaining visitor induction materials and PPE, ensuring briefings are completed and logged, and keeping visitor records up to date. Periodically review the induction content to reflect any changes to site rules, PPE requirements or emergency procedures.

What success looks like:

• Audit documentation is complete, accurate and ready ahead of schedule.

• Corrective actions are tracked and closed on time with clear records.

• Training matrix is current and completion rates are high.

• Production teams know where to find SOPs and records are consistently completed.

• Cleaning schedules are followed and hygiene standards are maintained.

Experience & skills:

• 1–3 years' experience in a compliance, quality, food safety or H&S support role, ideally in food or beverage manufacturing.

• Familiarity with HACCP principles and food safety documentation.

• Experience supporting internal audits or working towards a third-party standard (SALSA/BRC or similar) is desirable.

• Strong attention to detail and confidence in managing documentation and records.

• Good organisational and communication skills; able to work with frontline teams.

• Comfortable with Microsoft Office and document control or compliance platforms.

Qualifications:

• A relevant qualification in Food Science, Environmental Health or Occupational Safety is desirable but not essential.

• IOSH Managing Safely or equivalent awareness-level
