Description
Looking for your first steps into the catering industry?
Our guests spend their days climbing, kayaking, quad-biking and generally having a great time – building up quite an appetite along the way!
We’re looking for enthusiastic, motivated people with an interest in hospitality to join our staff team as Catering Assistants.
PGL Travel Ltd is the UK’s leading provider of residential activity holidays and educational study courses for young people. We operate at 28 centres across the UK, France and Spain, giving more than 400,000 young guests an experience to remember each year - that means a lot of hungry mouths to feed!
No experience in this area? No worries! Anyone who joins the PGL Staff team for the first time with limited or no previous experience can join us on the PGL Apprenticeship Scheme. This provides an industry-leading package of training, support and qualifications, enabling people to join PGL at a range of experience levels and will equip you with the skills and confidence to perform your role. There are no age restrictions on our apprenticeship programme.
All our training and qualification opportunities are offered free of charge on the provision that you complete your contract of employment with us. Many of our Head Chefs joined us in this role, progressing to their present roles as a result of our Apprenticeship programme and development opportunities.
This role offers the perfect chance if you’re interested in starting a career in catering but have no previous experience as we provide all the necessary training. You will work under the direction of your Chef or Head Chef, preparing and serving food to our guests as well as cleaning the dining and food preparation facilities after use.
We attempt to use as many fresh ingredients in our dishes as possible and have a healthy eating charter to compliment the active nature of our holidays.
This is a residential role, with an accommodation package and meals included. You’ll also receive a competitive wage, free uniform (no bond required), return transport to resort from a UK pick up point if working overseas. We also offer the opportunity to live and work in a supportive environment with people from around the world, where the emphasis is on fun!
