Junior Kitchen Manager – Firehouse Grill | Butlin’s
Ready to turn up the heat, lead a sizzling kitchen team, and embrace the holiday vibe?
At Butlin’s, great holidays start with incredible food. We’re looking for an energetic, passionate Junior Kitchen Manager to run the pass at our high-energy, open-kitchen restaurant: the Firehouse Grill!
From tongue-tingling chargrilled favourites, juicy chicken, signature build-your-own burgers, and epic sharing platters, you’ll be at the center of the action. With an open kitchen, guests get to watch the culinary magic happen live.
Mission, Vision & Culture
We think our chefs at Butlin’s are something truly special. If you’re a high-spirited leader who loves a fast-paced environment, wants to join in the fun, and can keep a large team inspired under the spotlight, this is your chance to shine!
We run fun-filled vacations for guests across the board—think family holidays, adventure breaks, and adult-only Big Weekenders. Our three core values define us:
- Create Smiles – Because happiness is what we do best.
- Get Stuck In – Roll up your sleeves and dive right in with both hands.
- Care For Each Other – Because our team is our greatest asset.
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.
We’d love you to don the Butlin’s chef hat and help us continue this tradition.
