About The Role
We’re looking for a Junior Kitchen Manager to join the Butlin's Buffet Department based in Bognor Regis. Reporting to the Senior Kitchen Manager, you will support the running of the kitchen and lead a team of up to 40. Making our guests smile is at the heart of our values, and you will ensure this happens consistently by keeping guests at the center of all operational decisions. This includes resource planning, recruitment, and selection to ensure we have the very best team in place to deliver amazing service.
You will be passionate about exceptional experiences and will monitor this regularly to develop action plans in your venue with a focus on continuous improvement. Financial performance will play an important part in your role, and you will deliver food cost budgets through effective menu planning and cooking to standards and specifications. You will also support the accountability of food hygiene standards and health and safety in line with legislation and company policies.
You will be a role model for Butlin’s unique way of working, ensuring training schedules and performance development plans are in place for your team, inspiring them to deliver a great experience to guests every time. 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 a team in our main buffet restaurant serving guests who have booked a half-board dining package.
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 will need to be hardworking and determined, a reliable person who likes to get things done and looks for better ways for the team to consistently deliver our brand standards.
We are looking for candidates who are energetic, enthusiastic, high-spirited, and fun-loving, who understand their role and the value they can add to the guest experience by unleashing the potential of the team. You should also have 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.
As with any chef role at this level, you will also be responsible for managing margins, controlling costs, and all aspects of health, safety, and hygiene. 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. The cherry on top for the successful candidate is to be fun, keen to join in, work as part of a team, and ensure our guests have a great time, every time.
Typical Working Hours: Working five days over seven, covering 40 hours per week and part of a bonus scheme. This is a unique opportunity to work within a kitchen environment without split shifts, with a 40-hour working week and normally finishing by 8 PM.
