Production Chef Level 2 Apprenticeship & Chef Roles
We offer apprenticeships—for chefs, we can provide the Production Chef Level 2 Apprenticeship for candidates who meet the requirements. Learn more during the recruitment process.
About the Roles
We’re searching for chef candidates to join one of the UK’s most distinctive Papa John’s locations. Our unique venue (one of only two in the UK) offers a full dine-in and buffet experience—far beyond the typical takeaway. Your role will be about crafting pizza perfection in a dynamic kitchen; you’ll also take part in the holiday magic of our seasonal events.
Happy to tell you—you won’t always be behind the wheel! Your shifts will include a mix of restaurant-based work and time in our pizza van, giving you a variety of experiences in the team.
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.
Note: If you’re relocating, live-in accommodation may be available before you start (subject to a DBS check).
Working Hours
- 35 hours per week, following a 5-day workweek (including weekends)
- Shifts vary in timing, from early starts (7am) to late finishes—especially in the Papa John’s pizza van, which operates until 4am during our Big Weekenders
About You
We’re looking for experienced chefs—or those with relevant hands-on kitchen experience, especially if you’ve worked in similar roles and have experience with fresh pizza prep.
At Butlin’s, our chefs create more than meals—they deliver unforgettable guest experiences. Many of our guests return year after year to enjoy not just our sunshine, shows, and entertainment, but also the sincere hospitality and special food we serve.
