Papa Johns Chef

About the Role

Are you ready to embark on a culinary adventure? We’re searching 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 in the country! Here, you’ll be part of a vibrant kitchen, delivering pizza perfection and creating magical moments for our guests.

Don’t worry; you won’t be stuck in the van all the time! Your role will include a mix of shifts across both the restaurant and the van, providing you with variety and the chance to collaborate with different parts of our team.

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

You’ll enjoy a 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 during our Big Weekenders!

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

Our chefs at Butlin’s are truly 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 in our restaurants.

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

At Butlin’s, we’re all about fun, excitement, and adventure by the bucketload! For over 80 years, we’ve been delighting hundreds of thousands of guests each year, whether on a non-stop action family break or our epic Adult-only Big Weekenders.

Ask any of our team, past and present, and they’ll tell you one of the best things about working at Butlin’s is our culture! We’re dedicated to providing our guests with an Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break, brought to life through our three mighty values.

If you want a role where you Create Smiles, aren’t afraid to Get Stuck In, and where the team genuinely Cares For Each Other—this could be the perfect fit for you.

There has never been a more exciting time to join Butlin’s!
