This is more than just a job—it's a structured pathway to gain a nationally recognised qualification while experiencing the thrill of flying.
As a TUI Apprentice Cabin Crew Member, you'll be at the heart of creating unforgettable holiday moments from the moment our customers step on board.

You will be trained to expertly balance two critical priorities: being a vigilant guardian of safety and a warm, engaging host. From confidently implementing safety and first aid procedures to delivering thoughtful service with a smile, you'll ensure everyone feels well-looked after. You'll thrive as part of a close-knit crew, building quick rapport with passengers and colleagues alike, and adapting gracefully to the dynamic nature of aviation—whether it's a schedule change or mastering new onboard technology.
