What we need in a nutshell
We need someone who can lead and inspire a busy kitchen team; someone who understands that food is central to a happy holiday. Someone who is driven, is passionate in delivering standards and enjoys the camaraderie of teamwork is essential for this role; we get busy, but we never forget why we love what we do.
Someone who can lead through our teams, to engage them and set attainable goals; someone that finds solutions to problems and communicates well with both management team as well as the supporting team members.
You will need to be resilient, used to high pace/high volume, but someone that thrives under pressure and manages to keep their head and help those that need support, even in the busiest of shifts.
Who we are?
We are a very busy pub in the new forest that pride ourselves on delivering great food out to our guests quickly. We drive high volume, end even higher volume in our peak summer months, but we work together and always keep a positive attitude.
Being a holiday park, we have a diversity of guests coming through our doors but our standards never change, we offer a classic menu with a few twists to reflect the tastes of all that visit our parks.
Being the main F&B destination on site, we serve food from 9am through to 9pm, with that there are a variety of shift types available, but never a split (unless requested!) or and all day.
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:
1. 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:
It’s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers – if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it and decide if it describes you.
Nice to have but not essential
It would be great if you tick some of these boxes too (but we won’t hold it against you if you don’t).
