The Advisor is responsible for reviewing, developing, and supporting the implementation of both Sodexo and Client health and safety programmes. This includes providing professional advice and guidance to Sodexo teams across a varied portfolio of client sites in Scotland, as well as supporting account and site management teams.

This is a varied role involving auditing, training, and supporting the effective delivery of Sodexo health and safety compliance programmes, and where required, Client H&S programmes.
