Description

About the Roles We’re on the lookout for Commis Chefs to join us in one of the UK’s most unique Papa John’s venues—one of only two restaurant-style Papa John’s locations in the country offering a full dine-in and buffet experience. This isn’t your typical takeaway—it’s a vibrant kitchen where you’ll help deliver pizza perfection moments as part of the holiday magic.

Our shifts require flexibility, they range from early starts at 7am to late finishes - especially when you're scheduled in our Papa John's pizza van, which stays open until 4am on our Big Weekenders.

Your role will include a mix of shifts across both the restaurant and the van, giving you variety and the chance to work in different parts of the team.

And if you’re relocating, live-in accommodation may be available to help you settle in quickly and comfortably, subject to a DBS check.
