About The Role

As a Chef de Partie, you will assist the Sous Chef & Head Chef in delivering the Butlins food propositions.

Responsible for a specified section of the kitchen, ensuring the safe preparation, cooking, and presentation of dishes, following set recipe specifications and brand standards.

As a Chef de Partie, your responsibilities will be crucial in our kitchens. You will deputise in the absence of the sous chef, manage, and oversee daily operations in your section, ensuring efficiency and compliance with food safety policies.

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

You should 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.

As with any chef role at this level, you will also be responsible for managing margins, controlling costs, and ensuring health, safety, and hygiene standards.
