Are you exploring your career options or considering an alternative to university? Why not kickstart your career in hospitality with De Vere as a Hospitality & Events Trainee – Supervisor Apprenticeship and join our Emerging Leader Programme?
The programme runs for 15–18 months, during which you will gain hands‑on experience across a range of departments that make a large hotel and events venue run smoothly.
By the end of the programme, you will have developed the skills and knowledge required to progress into your first supervisory role within hospitality. You will also have the opportunity to achieve a nationally recognised Level 3 Hospitality Supervisor apprenticeship qualification (if you don’t already hold one).
You will begin with a 6-month foundation phase, rotating through six core departments: Conference & Events, Bar, Restaurant, Reception, Housekeeping, and Kitchen. This will give you a well‑rounded understanding of hotel operations.
Following this, you will complete two additional 3-month rotations—one aligned with business needs and one based on your personal interests—where you will begin to develop your supervisory skills and take on more responsibility.
In the final 3–6 months, you will specialise in your chosen department, focusing on building the expertise needed for your future career path.
Throughout the programme, you will be supported by a dedicated mentor and take part in development days alongside other Emerging Leaders, as well as additional training and qualifications.
This is a full-time programme starting on Tuesday 1 September 2026. Due to the nature of hospitality, you will work a variety of shifts including early mornings (from 6 am), evenings, and late finishes (up to 2 am for events), across weekdays and weekends.
In addition to a structured and supportive development programme, we offer the following to those who join us as a Hospitality & Events Trainee – Supervisor Apprenticeship.
