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.
- Chef de Partie Level 3 Apprenticeship 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.
- Senior Chef Apprenticeship in Production Cooking

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 ambition is simple. Together, by demonstrating our caring natures, supporting each other and being proud of what we do, we aim to create smiles every day.
