Hospitality Supervisor Apprenticeship

De Vere Latimer Estate

Thinking about a career in hospitality? Looking for an employer who will support your career development?

If you are attracted to a career within the exciting world of hospitality and are looking for a structured career development programme to kick start your career, consider joining the De Vere Emerging Leader - Hospitality Supervisor Apprenticeship programme at De Vere Latimer Estate in Chesham.

About the De Vere Emerging Leader Programme:

The programme runs for 14 months during which time you will gain valuable experience and insight into each operational department that makes a hotel and events venue run smoothly.

You will emerge from the programme with the skills, experience and development you need to be a “best in class hotel operator” and ready to take your first supervisory position. In addition to valuable work experience and the skills you have learnt and developed on the job, you will also gain a nationally recognised Level 3 Hospitality Supervisor apprenticeship qualification.

How are the 14 months structured?

The De Vere Emerging Leader Programme begins with an insight in to some of the departments at the heart of running a Hotel. For the first 6 months you will spend time in 6 different departments learning new skills to gain an excellent foundation. The departments will include Meetings & Events, Bar, Restaurant, Reception, Housekeeping & the Kitchen.

Following your initial 6 months you will work with the Hotel Management team to choose 2 departments to work in for a further 3-5 months, to focus on and gain a greater depth of knowledge including learning about the duties involved at a Supervisory level.
You will be required to work a variety of hours and days depending on the department in which you are working. These will include a mixture of early starts from 6am, day shifts and late finishes between 11pm and 2am (for events).

You must be available to commence the programme on Monday 4th September 2023.
