We're looking for Apprentices to join the family. With 40 years' experience in developing some of the very best of Nottingham's chef and front of house talent, Perkins Family can offer a truly one-of-a-kind work-based apprenticeship. Working alongside an experienced and highly skilled team within the beautiful rural surroundings of Perkins and The Carriage Hall, you have the opportunity to learn and develop skills that will allow you to springboard into a distinguished hospitality career. With a mixture of restaurant and events catering experience combined with using top quality food and drinks, each apprentice will gain all the practical tools they will need for the future. Qualifications Currently we are working in partnership with New College Nottingham (NCN) and are able to offer a training package which enables you to achieve a Commis Chef NVQ qualification. This is a fully-funded qualification for applicants up to the age of 21. How it works Over a period of 18 months, you would be completing the course whilst working at the Perkins and The Carriage Hall venues for a minimum of 30 hours per week (maximum 40). Your on-the-job training is combined with a day a week at college, as well as site tutor visits every 6 weeks. At the end of the apprenticeship, those who have passed their qualification and have shown the standard and commitment we require will be offered the opportunity to continue their professional careers with Perkins Family or with our sister venues at baresca family. Pay The paid £7.55/hour whilst training. After the first year those aged 19 and over will be paid minimum wage. Apprentices are entitled to gratuities, meals whilst on duty, and a discount card to use at our other venues, baresca & escabeche.
