Job description



Head Chef - 12-month maternity cover

 

Join our kitchen team as Head Chef for a career with a little more sizzle! 

Get your teeth stuck into a new role at Parkdean Resorts and watch your career grow as you serve up smiles to our holidaymakers and homeowners. Nothing beats good team camaraderie and the buzz of a busy shift, and our kitchen teams enjoy both in spades.   

You’ll need to hold a Food Hygiene Level 3 qualification and have experience in a fast-paced kitchen. 
 

So, why Parkdean Resorts? 

 

Well, besides the one-of-a-kind team culture, stunning locations across the UK, and the security that comes with being a part of the UK’s largest holiday park organisation, we can offer: 

  • The opportunity to gain professional qualifications    
  • Clear career progression pathways  
  • Up to 50% off holidays with us 
  • 25% off holidays for friends and family 
  • 30% off park activities, food and drink 

We want to be a force for good for our parks, people, and planet. Our passion is to secure the sustainability of our business, create positive change, and leave a green footprint for future generations to enjoy. 
 

What you will be doing... 

 

As the new Grill Sergeant, from prep to plate you’ll be hands on and highly organised, working at pace to serve up amazing memories for our guests. This means: 

  • Taking on a ‘hands on’ role in the production of menu items during service, cooking to spec, adhering to all menus and portion control, and recording wastage. 
  • Work on the ‘front line’ and managing the prep production. 
  • Ensuring the quality of the food production and presentation is maintained to company standard. 
  • Participating in and developing owners’ activities and events. 
  • Working in a safe manner, with due diligence towards yourself, colleagues and guests. 
  • Training and developing the kitchen team to ensure a consistent standard is maintained. 

 

Are we the right fit for you? 

 

At Parkdean Resorts we don’t leave unforgettable moments to chance.  

We pitch in, we have fun, and we grow, challenging and inspiring each other to make great things happen every, single, day. We’re the people people, Parkdean people - we’re family, ensuring holiday happy is never far away.
