Location: Sandy Balls Holiday Village, Fordingbridge, New Forest
Hours of work: 40 hours permanent
What we need in a nutshell
We need someone who can lead and inspire a busy kitchen team; someone who understands that food and drink are central to a happy holiday. From recruitment, inductions, training and team development to stocks, yields and audits but most of all doing what you love to do... cooking!
What you’ll be doing
As part of our F&B team, you will manage and inspire the kitchen team to produce brilliant meals to our high standards. This will include:
* Control and direct the food preparation process and any other relative activities
* Ensure consistency of quality of dishes before they reach the customer
* Plan orders of equipment and ingredients managing, stock and wastage effectively
* Assist the Kitchen Manager in managing and training kitchen staff
* Oversee the work of the kitchen team
* Manage and review team workload to maximise efficiency and ensure standards
* Implementation of all legislative measures and administration required by the current Food Hygiene, licensing, and collaboration and respect across the team.
You will lead from the front, setting the standards for your team and motivating, coaching and supporting them to be outstanding.
One more thing… holidays happen at holiday times, and eating, and drinking goes on into the night, so you’ll need to work your magic on bank holidays, evenings and weekends too.
Skills, experience and qualities you’ll need
Are you dynamic, determined and enthusiastic? Do you thrive on providing memorable guest experiences and want to be part of a great team? These are the essential qualities for our kitchen manager. You will also have:
* Communication skills by listening to customers, engaging and building a rapport with your team and by dealing with challenging people and situations

* Great leadership skills and the ability to build a high performing team in order to control, develop and improve all aspects of the kitchen including: P&L, yields, people, standards, legal compliance, service and brand integrity
* An NVQ and relevant food hygiene certificates.
Nice to have but not essential
