At Whittlebury we believe talent should be grown from within and we offer a variety of Apprenticeship courses to build our future talent including:
Hospitality Team Member Level 2 in Food and Beverage
Hospitality Team Member Level 2 in Housekeeping
Commis Chef Level 2
Our apprenticeships offer first class training which runs alongside your employment allowing you to gain hands on-experience whilst earning a full time above minimum wage salary and ultimately achieving a nationally recognised qualification. Our courses run from 12 to 18 months and offer a mixture of remote and in person training and start dates run regularly throughout the year.
Your journey with us starts as soon as you receive a job offer; from that moment we will support you to be the person you know you can be in your chosen career. During your apprenticeship you will:
- Be employed on at least £9 per hour on a full time basis with 20% of your time dedicated to learning new skills
- Receive our amazing benefits package including 28 days (for full time staff) paid annual leave, Westfield Health Care, Leisure Club and Golf Membership, up to 50% off food and beverage when you dine with us, free meals whilst on duty, discounts on hotel stays and many other exciting benefits.
- Build relationships within the business which will allow you every opportunity to continue to progress with us following the successful completion of your course.
As a business, we have strong values and recognise that our employees are fundamental to our success. We encourage all employees to immerse themselves in the business and build a future. We will always support any employee who shows willingness and enthusiasm.
When will I need to work?
We offer a 24 hour a day, 7 days a week service to our customers and expect our apprentices to work a variety of shifts to ensure they fully experience all parts of the business. However, we recognise that working different shifts each day can be a barrier to some apprentices who rely on public transport, lifts from third parties or have other commitments and we do offer a fixed shift pattern for those who require it.
