About the De Vere Emerging Leader Programme:

The programme runs for 14 months during which time you will gain valuable experience and insight into each operational department that makes a large hotel and events venue run smoothly.
You will emerge from the programme with the skills, experience and development you need to take on your first hospitality supervisory position with De Vere. In addition to valuable work experience and the skills you have learnt and developed on the job, you will also gain a nationally recognised Level 3 Hospitality Supervisor apprenticeship qualification.

How are the 14 months structured?
The De Vere Emerging Leader Programme begins with an insight into some of the departments at the heart of running a Hotel & Event venue. For the first 6 months you will spend time in 6 different departments learning new skills to gain an excellent foundation. The departments will include Meetings & Events, Bar, Restaurant, Reception, Housekeeping & the Kitchen.

Following your initial 6 months you will work with the Management team to choose 2 departments to work in for a further 3-5 months, to focus on and gain a greater depth of knowledge including learning about the duties involved at a Supervisory level. During the programme you will be assigned from within the Hotel who will be on hand to offer you guidance and support. You will also be invited to take part in De Vere Emerging Leader workshops and training courses/qualifications.

You will be required to work a variety of hours and days depending on the department in which you are working. These will include a mixture of early starts from 6am, day shifts and late finishes between 11pm and 2am (for events).

You must be available to commence the programme on a Full Time basis from Monday 1st September 2025.
