• Assisting in the preparation of HSE reports, KPIs and data analysis to identify trends and opportunities.
• Helping coordinate internal and external audits, ensuring evidence, documentation and follow‑up actions are well organised.

• Eager to progress in the HSE profession and grow your capability through hands‑on learning.
• Familiar with basic HSE practices (e.g., incident reporting, risk assessments, audits) and keen to build deeper technical knowledge.
• Strong communicator – approachable, calm and able to engage with colleagues at all levels.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail; confident managing records, documentation and follow‑up tasks.

At Butternut, we put the food back into dog food. We believe dogs deserve to eat the healthiest, most natural and tastiest food with none of the nasties. That’s why we make freshly prepared dog food – cooked like you would at home and delivered in perfect portions.

We want to change the pet food industry for the better – helping dogs live healthier, happier and longer lives whilst leaving humans smiling after every interaction.

We have come a long way since our co‑founders (Kevin & David) hand‑delivered the first Butternut Box. We are on a mission to feed even more pets in the UK and our operations team is building a robust and scalable supply chain that plays a vital part in this. That’s where you come in.
