Are you passionate about shaping public health through nutrition, with a solid foundation in science and experience working in the field?

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has a statutory duty to improve the extent to which the population in Scotland has diets conducive to good health. The posts are based in the Public Health Nutrition Division of FSS, where a key focus is supporting and advancing measures that influence the food environment to help consumers access healthier and more sustainable options.

You will provide expert nutrition support to the Chief Nutritionist and the Head of Public Health Nutrition, contributing to the delivery of objectives set out in the FSS Public Health Nutrition Strategy. You will work in partnership with the Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland to support the development and monitoring of measures aimed at improving the food environment and dietary intakes across Scotland.
