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.

So, why Parkdean Resorts?

Well, besides the one-of-a-kind team culture, stunning locations across the UK, and the chance to work with the UK's largest holiday park organisation, we can offer:

• The chance to develop your skills and boost your career across our 66 parks – as one of the best in the biz when it comes to apprenticeships, we’ve got your back when it comes to training!
• You’re never on your own with our Employee Assistance Programme! It comes with a 24/7 confidential helpline for counselling and support- because your wellbeing is our top priority.
• A 50% discount for you and a 25% discount for friends and family when booking your holiday with us.
• A team member discount of 30%, available on everything from fabulous food to delicious drinks and even our fun leisure activities.
• Score awesome discounts! From tasty meal kits like Hello Fresh to your favourite local gyms, we’ve got deals on lots of brands just for you.
  
  

We want to be a force for good and caring for our parks, people, and planet is a natural component of the way we do business. We celebrate our people, communities and natural environment, enabling us to enhance the amazing memories we create for many years to come.

What you will be doing...

• Taking on a ‘hands on’ role in the production of menu items during service, cooking to spec, adhering to all menus and portion control, and recording wastage.
• Work on the ‘front line’ and managing the prep production.
• Ensuring the quality of the food production and presentation is maintained to company standard.
• Participating in and developing owners’ activities and events.
• Working in a safe manner, with due diligence towards yourself, colleagues and guests.
• Training and developing the kitchen team to ensure a consistent standard is maintained.
