Chef Academy
GREAT CHEFS. GREAT FOOD. GREAT MEMORIES.
Talented? Energetic? Want to train to become a great chef? Join our Chef Academy, a unique 18-month programme designed to give you the best training in the industry. You don’t even need any prior experience because helping talented people to thrive is at the heart of Haven, and we’ll show you how to be best-in-class, with comprehensive training from professional chefs and our culinary master classes.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime train to be a professional chef, earning money while you learn, at one of the best places to work in the leisure industry. Great food is hugely important to the thousands of guests we take care of at Haven Holidays – from fish and chips to restaurant dining.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
No prior experience is needed. Just bring a hunger to learn, a thirst for knowledge and a passion for cooking up the kind of meals our guests will never forget. We’ll train you to do the rest. Brilliantly.
You’ll need flexibility on where you are based in the UK – our holiday parks are at some of the UK’s most stunning coastal locations and, after gaining experience in our training kitchens, you could be based at any of them.
If you love to create great food, then the Haven Chef Academy will help you make it.
Great Chefs. Great food. Great memories.
