Job description

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.

Overseeing and managing small teams of commis chefs, you will ensure the delivery of the food proposition in accordance with food safety policy. You will be enrolled in our award-winning Butlins Chef Academy to enhance your skills in a fun and educational environment, helping you progress to more senior levels.

As a Chef de Partie, your responsibilities will be crucial in our kitchens. You will deputize in the absence of the sous chef, manage, and oversee daily operations 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 behavior standard to the commis chefs you lead, train, and mentor with guidance and support as needed.

You will also be expected to prepare and cook dishes with pre-approved recipe specifications, ensure completion of relevant daily food diaries related to the role, and control budget margins with the support of the Head Chef and Sous Chef.

About You

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

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

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

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, work as part of a team, and committed to ensuring our guests have a great time every time.

Typical working hours: five days over seven, covering 40 hours per week.
