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.

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.

Key Responsibilities

We are looking for cleaning team members that can provide that extra bit of sparkle to our guest's holidays by helping to keep our resort clean, tidy and pristine. If you think you can go the extra mile for our team and our guests, we'd love to welcome you to the team.

We are looking for candidates who:

-Can clean of our main venues and toilets which will include the use of electrical and mechanical cleaning equipment (full training will be given)
-Handle chemicals to clean venues (full training will be given)
-External road cleaning including emptying general waste bins and recycling bins
-Movement of furniture to allow for different activities within venues
-Cleaning and disinfecting of toilets and changing rooms

Normal working hours:
Evening shift - 5pm - 2am. Please note that due to lone working and hours required for the role, applicants will need to be over 18 to apply. Start and finish times may vary depending on the break type.

If you think you have what it takes to come and be part of our team, we’d love to hear from you.

About Butlin's

Did you know Billy Butlin was the first person to introduce dodgems to the UK? That's right, 'fun' is in our DNA, and we've been delighting guests for almost 90 years. Ask any of our team, past and present, and one of the best things they'll say about working at Butlin's is our culture.

As The Home of Entertainment, we pull out all the stops to provide our guests with an 'Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break', from all-action family holidays to adult-only Big Weekenders, brought to life through our three mighty values. So, if you're looking for a role where you can Create Smiles, where you aren't afraid to Get Stuck In and where the team genuinely Care For Each Other, we think you'll fit right in
