Job description

We’re looking for a Chef De Partie to join the Butlin’s team based in Skegness. We truly believe that variety is the spice of life and in this role you’ll have the opportunity to lead and develop the skills of our team in one of our fantastic buffet restaurants. A Butlin’s resort is the home of getting stuck in and no trip to the seaside would be complete without great food and we offer this to every guest, every time in our restaurants.

As a Chef de Partie, your responsibilities in this role will be a key factor in our kitchens. You will support the Junior Kitchen Manager and oversee the daily operation in your own section, ensuring efficiency and compliance with food safety policies. You will also maintain a clean and organised workstation, always adhering to the health and safety regulations and demonstrating these responsibilities as a behaviour standard to the Commis Chefs you will lead, train and mentor with guidance and support as needed. This is a 35‑hour role, working to a rota of 5 days over 7 including weekends, paid fortnightly. Flexibility is essential to meet the needs of the business and support the team. Live‑in accommodation may be available if over 18 and relocating to the area subject to a DBS check.

Experience in a similar level role in a volume environment is essential. We would also love to hear from you if you’re looking to step up to your next role in the kitchen. It would be desirable to have also passed your Level 3 Food Safety qualification and be confident in leading a team to continually deliver high standards in a fast‑paced and busy kitchen environment. You will need to be hard‑working and determined, a reliable person who likes to get things done and who will look for better ways for the team to consistently deliver our brand standards. We think our chefs at Butlin’s are something special and we know our guests love to keep returning to our restaurants as part of their holiday experience so the cherry on the top for the successful candidate is for them to be fun, keen to join in and work as part of a team, and to be interested in ensuring our guests have a great time, every time.
