About The Company
Avery Chef Academy – build your career
We have partnered with leading training and apprenticeship provider, Hospitality Industry Training (HIT), offering our new recruits the opportunity to join our Chef Academy and enrol via an apprenticeship route to our culinary teams.
To carve out a successful career as a Sous chef at Avery, you will benefit from having both experience in the culinary sector and industry-recognised qualifications. An apprenticeship provides invaluable real-world experience, and the skills and knowledge you need to climb the career ladder, opening a wealth of career opportunities and pathways.
Join the Avery chef teams and the Avery Chef Academy at the same time.
As an Avery Chef de Partie Apprentice, you will run a section of your care home kitchen, for example, sauces, pastries, or fish. Typically, you will manage a small team of workers, ensuring dishes go out on time and the work area remains clean.
As a Senior Chef Apprentice in Production Cooking, you will manage a team to produce standardised dishes and menus within your care home kitchen. You will be accountable for the day-to-day running of the kitchen, including producing, monitoring, and maintaining consistent food standards.
These apprenticeships will allow you to hone your skills, increase your knowledge and take on additional responsibilities; all whilst working in your Avery care home. Enrolling with our Chef Academy will give you real-world experience, as you learn from experts first-hand in a working kitchen environment.
Our Sous Chefs are the Head Chefs of tomorrow, and these advanced learning courses offer everything our chefs require to gain skills, confidence, and growth. We encourage you to take up this great opportunity. Apply for our role today and ask for more information about the Avery Chef Academy.

You will find the Avery business leaders in the homes at the forefront of care, and fully accessible at all times, including the Culinary and Hospitality regional teams who are often in the kitchens working with you to try out new ideas and support where they are needed. We truly are proud of who we are, and we act as #OneFamily. If you’d like a career in care and would like to be an important part of our #OneFamily, apply today.
