Food & Beverage Team Member Apprenticeship - Level 2

Buckfast Abbey is home to a community of Roman Catholic Benedictine Monks, who live their lives of prayer, work, and study according to the ancient rule of St Benedict. Today, our site is a flourishing complex of buildings, which the monks have continually developed to aid them in realising their vision for Buckfast - to be a national centre of witness to God, and the Roman Catholic faith. To that end, the Monastic Community places a great value upon hospitality, and we welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. We employ around 140 staff in a variety of interesting career opportunities that are valued with competitive pay and an excellent benefits package. Staff are not required to share the religious beliefs of the Monastic Community but an empathy with the Catholic ethos of the site is required.
