If you’re older than 16 and looking to kickstart an exciting career with on-the-job experience, formal training, nationally recognised qualifications and a salary, we’ve got something for you! When you join our team as an apprentice, you’ll develop invaluable new skills and expertise in a sector that fires you up. What are you waiting for?
With our apprenticeships, you can create a fun and fulfilling catering career in a fully supported environment.
We’re people-powered, so we make it our mission to recruit talented individuals, help them thrive with hands-on foodie experience and a nationally recognised qualification, and reward excellence every step of the way. Each apprenticeship is tailored to your individual needs to ensure you get as much out of the experience as possible.
We pride ourselves on being open to as many people as possible. You could be a former or current employee at Eurest, or perhaps you’re discovering us for the first time. However, you do have to be over 16, have a permanent employment contract, work a minimum of 16 hours a week and be able to demonstrate basic English and maths skills.
Most of our apprenticeships last between 12 and 15 months; however, the higher the qualification, the longer the apprenticeship will be. Level 3 and 4 qualifications often take 15 to 18 months, while Level 5 and above could last anywhere between 18 months and 3 years. There are several different levels to an apprenticeship:
Level 2 - Intermediate
These apprenticeships are perfect for anyone who wants to gain a recognised qualification for new skills.
Level 3 - Advanced
These are suitable for people who already have a solid foundation (such as a Level 2) but want to further expand their skills.
Higher (Levels 4-7)
Higher apprenticeships are ideal if you want to gain an even deeper understanding of your chosen field, and gain a degree level qualification along the way!
"I am delighted to have developed ‘Forward with Marcus Wareing’ in partnership with Compass Group UK & Ireland and HIT Training.
‘Forward’ is a new cutting-edge culinary training programme designed to build skills, grow knowledge and expand imagination, so Eurest’s chefs can take their career to truly exceptional places.
Candidates will be able to explore every aspect of the modern kitchen, from culture to commerce, question assumptions and challenge conventions with guidance from myself.” - Marcus Wareing
