Junior Kitchen Manager – Firehouse Grill at Butlin’s
About the Role
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 and juicy chicken to signature build-your-own burgers and epic sharing platters, you’ll be at the center of the action. Since it’s an open kitchen, guests can watch the culinary magic unfold live.
Our chefs at Butlin’s are truly something special. If you’re a high-spirited leader who loves a fast-paced environment, enjoys joining in the fun, and can keep a large team inspired under the spotlight, this is your time to shine!
You’ll work a 40-hour week (5 days out of 7), with a flexible schedule that includes some late-night shifts during adult breaks. Because proactive teamwork is key, your flexibility is crucial.
