What we need in a nutshell

Someone who understands that exceptional food and drink are central to a happy holiday. From leading your team's development to stocks, yields and audits but most of all doing what you love to do...cooking! This is an exceptional opportunity for a skilled Kitchen Manager who is looking to show off their creative skills.

Who are we?

We're a dynamic and growing company, shaking up the Great British holiday at our award-winning UK resorts. Retaillack Resort and Spa is a luxury spa resort and a lively water sports hub, wrapped up in a stunning countryside location close to the North Cornish coast.

You will manage and inspire the kitchen team to produce brilliant meals to our high standards. This will include :

  • Control and direct the food preparation process and any other relative activities
  • Ensure consistency of quality of dishes before they reach the customer
  • Plan orders of equipment and ingredients managing, stock and wastage effectively
  • Remedy any problems or defects
  • Be fully in charge of managing and training kitchen staff
  • Oversee the work of the kitchen team
  • Manage and review team workload to maximise efficiency and ensure standards
  • Implementation of all legislative measures and administration required by the current Food Hygiene, licensing, and collaboration and respect across the team.

You will lead from the front, setting the standards for your team and motivating, coaching and supporting them to be outstanding.

One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times and eating and drinking goes on in into the night, so you'll need to work your magic on bank holidays, evenings and weekends too.
