Description
Do you know we also offer apprenticeships? For chefs, we can offer the Production Chef Level 2 Apprenticeship for candidates who fit the criteria of the apprenticeship. We can tell you more about this during the recruitment process.
About the Role
We’re looking for experienced Chefs to join our Buffets team at Butlin’s Skegness. This is a role for someone who already has solid experience working in a fast‑paced, high‑volume kitchen and takes real pride in delivering consistent, high‑quality food.
Our buffet restaurants are at the heart of the resort, and you’ll play a key part in leading and developing the team who bring that experience to life. Working closely with the Junior Kitchen Manager, you’ll oversee the daily operation of your section, ensuring efficiency, great standards, and full compliance with food safety policies.
You’ll maintain a clean, organised workstation and set the standard for the Commis Chefs you’ll support, train and mentor. Your leadership will help them grow while keeping the kitchen running smoothly and safely.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a full time permanent role, 35 hours per week, working 5 days over 7 including weekends, paid fortnightly.
Breakfast shifts run 4am–12pm, and dinner shifts 11am–7.30pm.
Flexibility is essential to meet the needs of the business.
Live‑in accommodation may be available for those over 18 relocating to the area (subject to DBS).
About You
We’re looking for chefs with proven experience at a similar level in a busy, high‑volume kitchen. This role isn’t suitable for beginners or those without professional kitchen experience.
You’ll be hardworking, reliable and determined, with a genuine commitment to high standards and a desire to keep improving. You’ll understand the impact great food and great teamwork have on the guest experience, and you’ll bring the energy and enthusiasm to help your team deliver it.
You’ll hold your Level 3 Food Safety qualification and be confident leading others in a fast‑paced environment. You’ll also be responsible for managing margins, controlling costs, and maintaining excellent hygiene, health and safety practices.
Our chefs are a huge part of what keeps guests returning to Butlin’s, so we’re looking for someone who’s not only skilled, but fun, team‑spirited and passionate about creating memorable experiences for every guest, every time.
