Description
About The Role
We’re looking for a Kitchen Manager to join the Butlin's Team based in Bognor Regis.
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 our team in one of our fantastic food venues. A Butlin’s resort is the home of getting stuck in and no trip to the seaside would be complete without great food and we offer this to every guest, every time in our restaurants.
Working in one of our guest's favourite places to dine, being a Kitchen Manager you will be leading a team of up to 15 chefs and kitchen porters, taking part in all aspects of team from recruitment, training, development and retention for the team. You will be accountable for stocktakes, rosters, timesheets, health & safety compliance and food safety compliance for the kitchen you lead and form a close working relationship with the Venue Manager and front of house team to provide an all-round service.
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.
The role is part of the Buffets department and there may be times that you support other kitchen teams and take part in our event work should a conference take place on resort.

We are looking for candidates who are energetic and enthusiastic, high spirited and fun loving and who will understand their role and the value they can add to the guest experience by unleashing the potential of the team.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
