** We’re proud winners of the AA Small Hotel Group of the year 2024-25, rated as a Top 30 Best Place to Work in Hospitality 2024 by The Caterer, and recently crowned Best Employer at the Springboard Awards for Excellence**

Launch Your Career in Luxury Hospitality
Are you ready to begin a career that’s fast-paced, rewarding, and full of opportunity? Whether you dream of becoming a hotel manager, a guest experience leader, a spa therapist or a master of events and service, our Apprenticeships are the ideal way to start your journey.

Eden Hotel Collection – Winners of Springboard’s Best Employer and Top 30 Best Places to Work – are offering an opportunity to build a career with one of the UK’s most prestigious boutique hotel groups.

What Makes This Different?

The Level 2 or level 3 Apprenticeships, delivered in partnership with Exeter College, HIT Training or Cedars Health & Beauty Centre, offer more than just a qualification. You’ll become a valued member of the Eden team from day one, earning while you learn, with the added bonus of rotating through core departments to discover your strengths and passion should you wish.

Are you ready to embark on a 'Year of Discovery' while gaining hands-on experience and valuable qualifications in the world of hospitality and wellbeing?

At Bovey Academy, we are offering exciting Apprenticeships across a range of specialist areas:

  • Level 2 & Level 3 Chef Apprenticeships

  • Level 3 Beauty, Wellbeing & Holistic Therapy

  • Hospitality Front of House

  • Level 2 Horticultural RHA

In your application, please clearly state your chosen apprenticeship area

Alongside your apprenticeship, you will join our Bovey Academy Talent Programme – a unique 12-month journey designed to you with essential life skills. As part of the programme, you will develop:

  • Financial wellbeing & money management skills

  • Confidence building & personal growth strategies

  • Cyber security awareness for safe digital living

  • Emotional intelligence to thrive in any environment

  • …and much more!

This is more than just an apprenticeship – it’s a launchpad for your future career and personal development.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous experience – just a great attitude and a passion for hospitality and wellbeing.

To thrive in this role, you’ll need to:

  • Be enthusiastic, proactive, and eager to learn.

  • Communicate well and enjoy working as part of a team.

  • Bring energy, curiosity, and a “can-do” mindset to every shift.

  • Be comfortable working weekends – our hotels are at their best when they’re buzzing.

Our hotels are busiest on Fri-Sunday, and so you should be prepared to work regular weekends.

What’s in it for you?

A minimum of 40 hours per week (across 5 days, including training).

The chance to discover which area of hospitality best suits you – and pursue it.

At Eden, we don’t just teach the skills – we mentor talent, reward ambition, and create future spa leaders.

At Eden Hotel Collection, we’re proud of our award-winning approach to employee wellbeing, engagement, and recognition (with industry award wins in both 2023 and 2024!)—which means you’re joining a team that values your happiness, growth, and success every step of the way.

  • Health & Wellness Plans: Dental, vision, alternative care, and 24/7 GP access.
  • Sustainable Commuting: Cycle-to-Work and Electric Vehicle Leasing options.

  • Your Voice Matters: Regular surveys that value your input.
  • Real Action: “You said, we did”—because we listen and respond.
  • Sustainability Focus: Employee champions at every hotel and HQ.

We’re proud members of the Hoteliers’ Charter, and our team is always at the heart of what we do, guided by our values of Heart, Honesty, Spirit, and Team.

Our commitment to equity means we welcome talent from all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and we encourage applications from all communities, including underrepresented groups, parents, people living with disabilities, and those bringing diverse perspectives.
