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.

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.
