KITCHEN ASSISTANT / COMMIS CHEF - Center Parcs
Center Parcs is the leading short break holidays, supported by a dedicated team of over 10,000 colleagues across Forest House (our Head Office) and six unique village locations throughout the UK and Ireland.
With a range of quality own-brand and high street restaurants and cafés, mixed with great food, family-friendly menus, and a generous sprinkling of excellent service. That’s the recipe for success in our Food and Beverage department. Around each village, the Food and Beverage department employs around 350 team members across nine different restaurants, cafés, and bars, as well as a production kitchen.

Please note that to apply for a role with us, you must be able to reliably commute to Center Parcs Elveden Forest (IP24 3TR), as it is not easily accessible by public transport.
