Join our kitchen team as Head Chef for a career with a little more sizzle!

Are you a passionate chef with a flair for management? At Parkdean Resorts, we’re looking for a Head Chef who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and make a real impact. You’ll be running a busy kitchen, crafting delicious dishes, and motivating a team to exceed guest expectations every time.

You won’t just be cooking – you’ll be shaping the entire kitchen experience. From managing stock and budgets to developing exciting menus, you’ll lead by example, ensuring everything runs smoothly and profitably.

You’ll need to hold a Food Hygiene Level 3 qualification and have experience in a fast-paced kitchen.

Why choose Parkdean Resorts?

Besides our unique team culture, stunning locations across the UK, and the opportunity to work with the UK's largest holiday park organisation, we offer:

  • The chance to develop your skills and boost your career across our 66 parks – as a leader in apprenticeships, we support your training and growth!

  • A 50% discount for you and a 25% discount for friends and family on holiday bookings.
  • A team member discount of 30% on food, drinks, and leisure activities.
  • Exclusive discounts on brands like Hello Fresh and local gyms, among others.

We are committed to being a force for good, caring for our parks, people, and planet. We celebrate our community and natural environment, creating memorable experiences for years to come.

What you will be doing...

  • Playing a hands-on role in menu item production during service, ensuring adherence to specifications, portion control, and recording wastage.
  • Managing front-line prep and production activities.
  • Maintaining high standards of food quality and presentation.
  • Participating in and developing owner activities and events.
  • Working safely, with due diligence towards yourself, colleagues, and guests.
  • Training and developing the kitchen team to uphold consistent standards.
