Progress along the way.
Training would take place alongside your paid work during the summer. The plan combines guidance from an experienced colleague, short weekly lessons and clear skills to practise in your role.
Regular feedback would help you understand your progress and take on more responsibility as you learn. The aim is a first step into a hospitality career.
Begin with the foundations
Meet your mentor and learn about safety, hygiene, guest care and the way your team works.
Learn during the season
Practise on the job with an experienced team member. Short weekly lessons, scheduled within paid training time, would build on your everyday work, with feedback and practical reviews along the way.
Plan your next step
Review your progress and build a record of the skills you have demonstrated. Discuss possible returning roles or future opportunities.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

first season.
Do I need restaurant experience?
The programme is being designed for beginners who want to learn and work as part of a restaurant team. Eligibility requirements and the application process will be published before applications open.
When does the training happen?
You would learn while working during the summer. Practical guidance, short weekly lessons and feedback are planned alongside paid work, so you can practise new skills throughout the season.
Will the work be paid?
Paid seasonal employment is central to the planned programme. Salary, working hours, employment terms and accommodation arrangements are still being finalised and will be explained before applications open.
When can I apply?
Applications are not yet open. We’ll publish the season dates, available roles and full programme details on this page when they are confirmed. We are not collecting programme fees.
Will I receive a qualification?
The planned outcome is an individual record of demonstrated workplace skills and an employer reference. This is not currently an accredited course or a state-recognised qualification.
What happens after the first season?
The aim is to discuss a next step based on your progress and the roles available. That could include returning to our team or exploring opportunities elsewhere. Future employment and salary increases are not guaranteed.
