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 be responsible for managing margins, controlling costs, and ensuring health, safety, and hygiene standards.

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