About The Role
We’re looking for a Junior Kitchen Manager.
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 in the centre of all operational decisions. This will include resource planning, recruitment and selection, and ensuring we have the very best team to deliver an amazing service.
You will be passionate about an exceptional experience 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; you will deliver food‑cost budgets through effective menu planning, cooking to standards and specification. You will also support the accountability of food‑hygiene standards and health & safety, inline with legislation and company policies.
You will be a role model for Butlins' unique way of working, ensuring training schedules and performance development plans are in place for your team and 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.
Qualifications
You should have passed your Level 3 Food Safety qualification and be confident in leading a team to continually deliver high standards in a fast‑paced, busy kitchen environment.
About You
We are looking for individuals with experience in a similar level role. We would love to hear from those looking to step up to their next role in the kitchen. You will need to be hard‑working, determined, and reliable, someone who likes to get things done and will look for better ways for the team to consistently deliver our brand standards. We’re looking for candidates who are energetic and enthusiastic, high‑spirited and fun‑loving, and who understand their role and the value they can add to the guest experience by unleashing the potential of the team. As with any chef role at this level, you will also be responsible for managing margins, controlling costs, and handling all things health, safety and hygiene related. We think our chefs at Butlins are something special and we know our guests love to keep returning to our restaurants as part of their holiday experience; the cherry on the top for the successful candidate is to be fun, keen to join in and work as part of a team, and interested in ensuring our guests have a great time, every time.

Ask any of our team, past and present, and one of the best things they’ll say about working at Butlins is our culture! We’re all about providing our guests with an altogether more entertaining and fun break, brought to life through our three mighty values. So, if you want a role where you create smiles, where you’re not afraid to get stuck in and where the team genuinely cares for each other, this could be the perfect fit for you. There has never been a more exciting time to join Butlins!
