Buckinghamshire & Surrey Trading Standards

Love browsing stores?

This role is for you!

Help us check products by buying specific items. There will be a small amount of paperwork involved.

You will find, look at and sometimes buy items that Trading Standards want to check for safety or food safety. 

Each visit will need to be recorded but please note that you would not be telling businesses what they are required to do.

You will be helping to keep others safe by spotting goods that could be dangerous.

This role is flexible, with no set times for carrying it out but tasks would need to be completed during the hours the businesses were open and within a set timeframe.
The items that you will be looking for and the problem features to look for will be explained to you.

The Trading Standards service exists to:

• Protect individuals, communities and businesses from harm and financial loss
• Help business to thrive by maintaining a fair trading environment
• Improve the health and wellbeing of people and communities
• Fulfil our statutory responsibilities to deliver consumer and public protection services across Buckinghamshire and Surrey
