Full time / Term time only

This specialist college and training hotel in Minehead, is supporting young adults with learning disabilities to develop the skills, confidence and independence they need to succeed in life and work.

Our students learn through real-life experiences within our fully operational hotel environment, giving them valuable opportunities to develop hospitality and catering skills alongside essential life skills.

This is much more than a catering role. It's an opportunity to use your professional expertise to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people.

Are You an Experienced Chef Looking for Something More Rewarding?

Working alongside Learning Support Practitioners and a wider multidisciplinary team, you'll help create a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student can achieve their potential.
