About the Role

We’re looking for a Chef De Partie to join the Butlin's team based in Bognor Regis.

We truly believe that variety is the spice of life, and in this role, you’ll have the opportunity to lead and develop the skills of our team in one of our fantastic buffet restaurants.

A Butlin’s resort is the home of getting stuck in, and no trip to the seaside would be complete without great food. We offer this to every guest, every time, in our restaurant.

Working as a chef at Butlin’s gives you the opportunity to provide an amazing experience to our guests, wherever they choose to dine on our resorts. We offer a wide range of food varieties with menus designed to excite our guests.

As a Chef de Partie, your responsibilities will be a key factor in our kitchens. You will support the Junior Kitchen Manager and oversee the daily operation in your own section, ensuring efficiency and compliance with food safety policies.

You will also maintain a clean and organized workstation, always adhering to health and safety regulations, demonstrating these responsibilities as a standard of behavior to the Commis Chefs. You will lead, train, and mentor with guidance and support as needed.

This is a 35-hour role, working 5 days over 7, including weekends, paid fortnightly. Breakfast shifts are from 4am to 12pm, and Dinner shifts are from 11am to 7.30pm. Live-in accommodation may be available if over 18 and relocating to the area.

About You

We are looking for individuals with experience in a similar level role in a volume environment. We would also love to hear from you if you're looking to step up to your next role in the kitchen.

You will need to be hardworking and determined, reliable, and proactive in seeking ways for the team to deliver our brand standards consistently.

We seek candidates who are energetic, enthusiastic, high-spirited, and fun-loving, understanding their role and the value they add to the guest experience by unleashing the potential of the team.

It would be desirable to have passed your Level 3 Food Safety qualification and be confident in leading a team to deliver high standards in a fast-paced, busy kitchen environment.

Our chefs at Butlin’s are something special, and our guests love returning to our restaurants as part of their holiday experience. The ideal candidate is fun, keen to join in, works well as part of a team, and is interested in ensuring our guests have a great time, every time.
