What we offer
When you join the Brend Academy, there are a range of benefits available to you as our apprentice. As well as receiving all of the same benefits as our other team members, the academy is also a great opportunity to earn while you learn. That means you’ll be paid to receive a nationally recognised qualification as well as gain hands-on experience in an industry you are passionate about.

The Brend ethos
“Our entire Brend ethos is developing our own, whether that be a young budding chef or someone with a passion for floristry. That has been proven over the 50 years of operating where we have always looked to promote those who were once just stepping on to the hospitality ladder into the most senior of roles in the company.
With the creation of the Brend Training Academy, it’s given even more opportunities to those who live in our communities to jump on board and develop their own skill set and gain accredited qualifications in a wide range of vocations, be it a specific passion like cocktails, digital marketing or gardening or a more broader passion to be the next member of a Brend Hotels management team.”
