Papa Johns Chef

Description

Exciting Opportunity: Apprenticeships Available! Did you know we offer apprenticeships? For aspiring chefs, we provide the Production Chef Level 2 Apprenticeship for candidates who meet the criteria. We can share more details during the recruitment process!

Join Our Unique Team! We’re on the lookout for passionate chefs to join us at one of the UK’s most unique Papa John’s venues—one of only two restaurant-style locations offering a full dine-in and buffet experience. This isn’t your typical takeaway; it’s a vibrant kitchen where you’ll help create pizza perfection moments as part of the holiday magic.

Don’t worry—you won’t always be in the van! Your role will include a mix of shifts across both the restaurant and the van, giving you variety and the chance to work in different parts of the team.

If you’re relocating, we may offer live-in accommodation to help you settle in quickly and comfortably, subject to a DBS check.

Working Hours

You’ll be guaranteed 35 hours per week, working on a rota of 5 days out of 7, which will include weekends. Our shifts require flexibility, ranging from early starts at 7 AM to late finishes—especially when you're scheduled in our Papa John's pizza van, which stays open until 4 AM on our Big Weekenders!

About You

We’d love to hear from you if you have experience working in a kitchen, especially if you’ve made fresh pizzas before! For our Chef roles, we’re looking for team members with hands-on Chef experience.

Our chefs at Butlin’s are something special—and our guests think so too! Many return year after year, not just for the sunshine and shows, but for the warm welcome and delicious food served up in our restaurants.

If you’re ready to grow your skills and be part of a team that makes a real impact, we’d love to welcome you to the kitchen!

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 incredible 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. 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!
