Apprenticeships
Exciting development opportunities
Apprenticeships provide exciting development opportunities to all of our bar, kitchen and hotel teams. They give you the opportunity to learn while you earn – from associates right through to management.
Whether you’re applying for a new role or looking to progress to the next level, we have the perfect training opportunity for you.
Available programmes
Wetherspoon partners with leading apprenticeship providers to offer a range of hospitality and business management apprenticeships, from entry level 2 (equivalent to 5 GCSEs), designed for our associates, all the way through to level 6 (degree), for our management teams.
Apprenticeships are available for our teams in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Eligibility requirements differ slightly in each country.
Rewarding careers
From Cambridge to Clacton and Beccles to Blackburn – we have achievers all over the shop.
As well as training and progression, our apprenticeships offer skills, knowledge and confidence-building – they have kick-started so many rewarding careers with the company.
With various levels of hospitality apprenticeship opportunity on offer, nationwide, there are so many career paths available to everyone.
We are so proud of the success gained by all of our apprenticeship achievers. As a company, we are committed to offering each staff member the best opportunity to succeed and grow within the company, including studying for qualifications and apprenticeships.
Earn and learn
With ten apprenticeship programmes, Wetherspoon has much to offer ambitious workers.
During February 2024, the 17th annual National Apprenticeship Week brings together the entire apprenticeship community to celebrate the value, benefit and opportunity of apprenticeships.
The aim of the week is to bring the whole hospitality community together to showcase the positive differences that apprenticeships can make to individuals and the pubs that they work in. Wetherspoon is an exciting place to work with clear career paths and showing that a career in hospitality creates #SkillsForLife and is #MoreThanAJob.
