Every job you didn't know existed in hospitality

Discover the roles you might not expect in hospitality

When people think of working in hospitality, they usually picture baristas, bartenders, front-of-house hosts, or restaurant chefs. However, our apprenticeships go much further than this. 

While these customer-facing roles are essential, hospitality is a vast industry powered by a range of specialised behind-the-scenes professionals. Including: 

1. Operations and Process Improvement

Keeping a hotel, restaurant chain, or large venue running efficiently requires high-level operational skill. Operations specialists ensure systems, supply chains and daily procedures function seamlessly. 

We offer apprenticeship programmes like: 

• Administration Assistant
• Business Administrator
• Improvement Specialist

2. Revenue, Yield and Data Analysis

Modern hospitality relies heavily on data. From predicting hotel occupancy rates to setting dynamic room pricing and analysing food waste, data professionals drive the commercial decisions of top hospitality brands. 

We offer apprenticeship programmes like: 

• Data Technician 
• Data Analyst

3. Marketing and Digital Brand Management

How do hotels, pub groups, and even spaces attract guests, fill rooms, and stand out in a busy market? Dedicated marketing teams that build online campaigns, manage booking channels, and execute social media strategies. 

We offer apprenticeship programmes like: 

• Multi-Channel Marketer

4. Culinary in Care: The Chef Academy

We work directly with care partners to deliver the Chef Academy, bringing high-quality dining into areas that sit outside traditional restaurants, including care homes and adult care settings. 

Some of the apprenticeships that can lead into this include: 

• Production Chef
• Senior Production Chef

5. People, HR and Leadership Development

Hospitality is built on people. Managing staff, organising training, driving retention and supporting employee wellbeing are critical responsibilities handled by dedicated people and management teams. 

We offer apprenticeship programmes like: 

• Data Powered Leader
• Hospitality Manager

So whether you want to crunch numbers in corporate revenue, run back-office operations or bring culinary excellence to adult care, hospitality offers a path for every talent.
