Kitchen Apprentice

Join the kitchen. Be the Creator.

Cooking at a high level, playing with seasonal products, and challenging yourself with new flavors—that is what you get to do here every day. Under the wings of SVH Master Chef Rogér Rassin, you will develop into the best version of yourself in one of the most versatile kitchens in the Netherlands! From spring 2027 we have one spot remaining in the kitchen for an enthusiastic BBL apprentice!

Join our kitchen!

• Learn the tricks of the culinary trade under the guidance of SVH Master Chef Rogér Rassin;

• Working with the most modern equipment in a super-kitchen;

• From mise en place to the preparation of fresh daily dishes;

• Possibility to follow a BBL chef training course at the hotel's expense via Valk Opleidingen.

As an apprentice in the kitchen, you will work in a modern and cozy hotel. You will have a learning position in a close-knit team and you will fall under the leadership of SVH Master Chef Rogér Rassin. And believe us: this is no standard kitchen. We have five different restaurants, each with its own character. From intimate fine dining to large events: every day is different here, every shift a new challenge.

We work with fresh daily products. You will be involved in all facets of kitchen work, from the mise en place to the plating of the dishes. Your colleagues will offer you the necessary guidance and teach you the tricks of the trade. Additionally, it is simply very cozy and we have a staff party together twice a year!

It is also possible to follow the training through us. Together with NCVB, Van der Valk has its own training house, where recognized MBO programs are provided according to the work-based learning track (BBL). As part of this, you follow six hours of theory lessons 15 times per year, which take place at one of the three Van der Valk teaching locations. You will therefore learn the practice in our kitchen, and in addition to your progress in practice, a BPV supervisor will also closely monitor your learning results. We pay for your training and you continue - at least during your training - to work with us. Win-win! See the website of Valk Opleidingen for more information. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
