If you're passionate about the kitchen, already have some experience under your apron, and are looking to grow into a leadership role, this is your chance to sharpen your skills and move up the ladder – as part of our fully funded Level 3 Chef Apprenticeship Program.

Why Advance Your Career with Us?
We’re offering an exceptional opportunity for a Senior Chef Apprentice to join the team at The Rising Sun, St Mawes - one of the flagship venues in our award-winning pub estate. 
With over 170 years of heritage, our commitment to nurturing talent is second to none. This apprenticeship is ideal for those looking to develop on their existing skills and take a step closer towards becoming a rounded Sous Chef/Head Chef/Kitchen Manager.

• Contribute to menu planning, sourcing, and sustainability efforts
• Understand costings, stock control, and kitchen management systems
• Lead by example with a focus on quality, consistency, and mentoring others

This hands-on role is supported by structured learning that leads to a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification, equivalent to A-Levels.

We believe in rewarding commitment and talent. Here’s what you’ll get:

• Fully funded Level 3 Chef Apprenticeship qualification
• 30% off food and drink across all St Austell Brewery pubs
• 50% off overnight stays + free two-night stay each year
• Westfield Rewards – discounts at top retailers, restaurants & attractions
