Positive recruitment of ex-military personnel
Veterans, reservists and military families bring huge value and transferable skills to industry. We are committed to supporting Armed Forces veterans and the wider Armed Forces community with employment opportunities.
With our experience and understanding of the Armed Forces, we provide a great transition from military to civilian employment with a wide range of opportunities existing across Sodexo.
We currently employ more than 500 veterans and reservists as well as thousands of people from serving military families in a diverse range of roles, grades and locations
“Sodexo’s commitment to diversity and inclusion ensures that veterans like myself feel a sense of belonging. We are encouraged to act, innovate, and thrive, knowing that our unique perspectives and skills are appreciated and utilised to their fullest potential. This environment of support and respect has been crucial in my professional growth and success.”
"The King’s Coronation was a historic moment with personnel from across the Armed Forces playing an important part in the official celebrations.
We are honoured that our colleagues who worked throughout the build-up and during the event itself have been recognised with the King’s Coronation medal alongside others from our partners the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, ADSL and other organisations.
I am proud of all of our teams who distinguished themselves and ensured this amazingly large and complex operation ran smoothly for our military partners at Project Allenby/Connaught and Hestia South as well as those who supported at other military bases including Colchester Garrison who provided additional support to members of the 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team.
Seeing first-hand the hard work and dedication of the troops in preparing for an event like this reinforces the importance of providing them with the best lived experience possible."
“I’ve found that Sodexo really understands the difficulties military veterans can face moving into civilian roles. Coming here has given me the opportunity to start a new career out of uniform and the transition was seamless”
